STORM Hannah played havoc with the weekend’s cricket fixtures involving the region’s sides.

Not a single ball was bowled as heavy rain and winds decimated the calendar during the second week of the campaign, with Menai Bridge’s trip to Brymbo abandoned without play.

The North Wales Cricket League Premier Division champions got their campaign off to the best possible start with a home triumph over Gresford, which featured standout knocks from skipper Dion Holden and new overseas star Sean O’Callaghan.

They go in search of their second consecutive victory this Saturday when Bridge travel to rivals Bangor in what is expected to be a pivotal early-season clash between the title contenders.

Bangor also go into the game in good form thanks to an emphatic opening day win, but their clash at St Asaph was another that fell victim to the weather.

Division One side Bethesda were left frustrated as they home tie against newly promoted Ruthin was called off, with the promotion candidates hoping for better weather this Saturday when they travel to Hawarden Park.

Dolgellau were forced to wait another week for their first competitive action of the season as their trip to Llay Welfare was waved off, with the club looking to make a significant impact in their season opener at Carmel and District on Saturday.

There was no luck for Division Four outfit Caernarfon, who had no play to show from their visit to Conwy 2nds and they welcome Llanrwst 2nds this weekend.
