Bridestowe rushed through 13 overs before the rain became too heavy, reducing Ivybridge to 43-3.

Dan Fogerty (2-26) was effective off a shortened run up and spinner Billy Searle (1-15) also kept it tight.

There was a break in the weather after around 30 minutes of very heavy rain, but play never resumed.

Both sets of players were keen to get a result by getting to the 20 over mark, but the umpires felt that the pitch was too wet to restart at the cut-off time, meaning that the points were shared.
