With only 4 matches to play for most of the sides,the last quarter of the season will finish as late as September 27th,hopefully the weather wont spoil an exciting run in.

Yorkshire sit top & play Durham in 2nd who have a game in hand this week,this result could go a long way to deciding the eventual champions.

Derbyshire with 2 wins now have a chance to stay up,with Surrey & Somerset struggling.

CC Div 2

Lancashire are the only unbeaten side & have 7 wins,3 more than their nearest rivals Northamptonshire who also hold a large points advantage over 3rd placed Essex,who have the slight advantage of a game in hand.

Weather forecast for the Scarborough Cricket Festival ,which begins on Wednesday with Yorkshire v Durham has been declared very good for the next 7 days ! Expect it'll rain then .(lol)

The group stages for the YB40 were finalized today with 8 teams in the mix for the semi-finals.Hampshire will host Glamorgan,with Nottinghamshire hosting Somerset
