Although the weather had deteriorated somewhat since summer had left (all of 17 days prior), covers were being used for the grand finals so play should not be a problem. WRONG - high winds combined with covers pegged down with perhaps toothpicks saw most of the covers blown off the wicket overnight. This left over half the track sticky and getting a start on day 1 seemed doubtful. Half-hourly checks of the wicket didn’t reveal anything new (still green, still sticky) and by mid afternoon, day 1 had been declared a wash-out. No problem - 3 days still to play and a result should be a formality one way or the other. Still, West Saints slightly worried with Albion being the higher qualified finalist. Day 2 - Sunday 18th March A brighter but still “cold as hell” type day greeted us.
