Horncastle CC’s Lincolnshire County League Fourth Division clash at Scunthorpe Town Thirds fell foul of the weather. The contest was cancelled, with both sides handed five points.

It was a frustrating way for the side to conclude their campaign as they would have hoped to pick up more points against the team sat second-bottom.

Horncastle currently sit fifth in the table.
