Tomorrow’s home clash against Somerset was postponed this morning with the Good Friday forecast looking miserable.

“We are desperately sorry and hope our luck changes in time for Wednesday’s meeting st home to Wolverhampton.”

Ford added: “We have been desperately unlucky with the weather, sadly our sport’s biggest and constant enemy.”
