Roffey told to 'get on with it' after second abandoned game in a row knocks them off top
A second consecutive postponement due to poor weather has seen the Boars’ 30 point lead at the top evaporate, as consecutive victories for Brighton & Hove have seen them leapfrog Roffey.
Saturday’s game saw Nomads reach 147-5 off 42 overs, with Nathan Poole topscoring with an unbeaten 73, before rain prevented any more play.

Hide AdDavies said: “There’s not a lot we can do about it really, which is probably the most frustrating thing about it. We’ve just got to get on with it.
“It is frustrating to lose a 30 point lead in two weekends when we haven’t been able to play.
“But there’s no point worrying or getting annoyed about it. As I said, we’ve just got to get on with it.”
But Khan and new man in Alasdair Wilson (duck) fell in rapid succession to George Fleming (2-21) to see the visitors at 58-2.

Hide AdCameos from wicketkeeper Jake Hutson (11) and skipper Daniel Phillips (23) then pushed Nomads to 113-4 before both were taken by Luke Barnard (3-38).
Despite Barnard claiming the wicket of Kashif Ibrahim (six) at 135-5, the Boars were unable to claim the wicket of the imperious Poole.
The Nomads opener and Stuart Faith (five*) saw out the rest of the innings before rain concluded the fixture.
