Accrington were bowled out for 139 by league leaders Ramsbottom on a day that saw all of the matches rained off on or near the halfway point. Openers Graeme Sneddon and Keiren Grimshaw put on 76 in 14 overs. Sneddon hit five fours and two sixes in making 48 from 44 balls before falling to Jon Fielding. Grimshaw (24) followed four runs later after lofting Fielding over mid off only for Tom Booth to take a spectacular one handed catch. Simon Read (4-47) clean bowled Stuart Crabtree (5) and followed up by dismissing Jacob Clarke (3) in the same manner at 105 to claim his 300th Lancashire League wicket. Without addition new batsman Simon Hanson edged Read to wicketkeeper Tom Parton. Read then snapped up Ali Hasham at slip off Fielding without scoring to have Accrington 105-6. Jon Hayhurst (12) joined his professional Ockert Erasmus and this pair tried to get the score moving again with the South African using his feet to the spinners. Smit returned to the attack bowling Erasmus for 32 with one that kept low.
