SIDMOUTH made the best of half a game against Torquay to pick up five batting bonus points before the weather intervened.

   Opener Anthony Griffiths hit a top score of 78 in Sidmouth's 48-over total of 234 for three declared.

   Along the way there was a 113-run stand for the second wicket with Matt Cooke, who hit a Premier Division personal best of 69.

   Earlier, Simon Sobczak (32) hoisted 64 for the first wicket with Griffiths. The stand ended when Sobczak was run-out by a direct hit on the stumps from Kris Davis.

   Davis (2-65) earned Torquay a bowling point.

   There was no further play after tea as rain swept in over Sidmouth's sea front ground.

   No other games in the Premier Division even got started - including the eagerly awaited clash between leaders Plympton and newly promoted Plymouth.
