YET again, the weather affected this top-of-the-table Jolly's Drinks Cornwall Cricket League Premier Division encounter between Callington and Falmouth – and, after losing 75 minutes to rain in the first innings, the match was reduced to 44 overs a side.

The Callington openers started steadily enough, but found runs hard to come by against ex-Paul fast bowler Justin Stephens and George Popperwell.

Jake Libby had made a hard-earned 17 when he offered a return catch to Popperwell, and after a rain break, Matt Robins soon fell to a catch by keeper Kieron Rodda off Stephens after he had scored 39.
