Their cup game at home to Academy is now due to be played this Sunday at Queensway with a 12 noon start although with so much rain on the ground it must already be in doubt.

If no play is possible on Sunday the two teams will have one more chance to play a 20 over game by next Thursday otherwise it will be decided on a bowl out.
