BDCA 2022: Persistent rain ruins Round 2 BDCA matches on Saturday

Persistent rain resulted in several Bunbury and Districts Cricket Association matches being called off on Saturday morning. Leading up to the clash, a slight chance of drizzly showers had been predicted, however it was expected play would still be able to go ahead at all first grade venues. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other ideas, with 7.8mm of rain falling in Bunbury between 8.30 and 11.30am. All three first grade matches — including the blockbuster between Marist and Eaton at Forrest Park — were all called off without a ball being bowled at 11.30am. In a cruel twist, the rain stopped 10 minutes following the abandonments, with sunshine poking through the cloud cover, although heavier showers returned later in the day.
