THE game between Lansdown and Devizes at Bath was abandoned in darkness, with Devizes needing 19 off 12 balls.

The result of the match will be decided by West of England Premier League officials.

The late finish was due to the air emergency helicopter landing on the pitch to transfer a patient to the nearby Royal United Hospital.

That caused a delay of 50 minutes, and the umpires decided not to reduce the overs.

Earlier, Lansdown had made 238 all out, centred around 70 from Darren Barnes.

Only Joe Hickey managing to exert any kind of pressure in a spell of 2-36 from 13 overs. Muse picked up 3-61 and Andy Hodder picked up the final three wickets as Lansdown looked to increase the run rate in the final overs.

In reply an opening partnership of 110 between Will Muse and Jake McCauley set the platform for a serious attack on the target in the last 20 overs.

Just after reaching 50 McCauley fell and Muse raced to 79 before being bowled. Paul Vooght struck two big sixes to reduce the target, and with the light fading fast, Tim Saye tried to see Devizes home, but was also bowled.

Having once been offered the light after 42 overs the umpires brought the players off after 49 overs due to the dangerous nature of the conditions.
