BACUP took just under three overs to snap up the final two Enfield wickets at Dill Hall Lane and secure their place in round two of the Worsley Cup.

Medium pacer Terry Lord had done the damage on Sunday evening when collecting 4-10 to leave the home side on the brink at 70-8 chasing 161 for victory.

Warren Eastham was the first man out last night, holing out to Matt O'Connor off the bowling of David Ormerod for six.

And professional Brad White wrapped things up with his fourth wicket of the match, when Mark Taylor held on to another skier to dismiss David Bracewell, as Enfield crumbled to 80 all out.

Keith Arthurton holds the key to the outcome of Rawtenstall's clash at Todmorden with his side needing almost a run a ball from the last 10 overs when they resume tonight. Just under 10 overs were possible when they attempted to finish the game last night with Todmorden claiming two wickets and Rawtenstall adding 36 runs to remain as marginal favourites.

However, with 59 required from 10 overs much will depend on Arthurton who took his score on from 39 to 60 not out, passing 50 from 76 balls with seven fours in all.

The left-hander gave one very difficult caught and bowled chance to Duncan Parker but Todmorden's successes came for John Barker who removed opener John Hall and Glen Barker with Vasbert Drakes keeping his three remaining overs back until tonight.

Lowerhouse were unable to press on for victory at Burnley as rain prevented a resumption.

And the bad weather prevented a single ball from being bowled in the matches between Church and Nelson, Colne and Accrington, and Haslingden and Rishton.

Play will continue this evening in all the uncompleted matches.
