The storm clouds gathered over Thorneyholme Road from the start as Bacup shot out Accrington for 63 in just 25.3 overs. Skipper Matt Wilson top scored with 21 with Tim Farragher holding four fine catches to help Chris Cairns pick up 4-15, Terry Lord 3-15 and Andrew Spencer 2-13, including the vital wicket of the prolific Nishit Shetty for 7. A needless run out saw the early return to the pavilion of opener Zed Afzal and then Spencer struck to remove the other opener Stuart Crabtree (5).

Shetty was next to go, quickly followed by Adam Wilson (4). Matt Wilson's resistance ended with the score on 50 and the return of Cairns saw the tail quickly fold to some sharp catching, the most spectacular being the flyer taken by John Chapman to dismiss David Ormerod off Cairns as 5 wickets fell for the addition of just 3 runs. A thunderstorm drove the players from the field with just 3 on the electronic scoreboard in Bacup's reply. Play was suspended for an hour and a half which left Bacup chasing the full total of 64 for victory. Chris Cairns was unbeaten on 28 when another storm forced the match to be abandoned on 41-1 in the 9th over.
