DORSET’S scheduled opening contest of the season has been hit by the weather.
The county were set to stage a game against a Dorset Leopards XI tomorrow at Dean Park, but county skipper Chris Park confirmed to Echosport that the pre-season clash was cancelled.
“It was called off this morning,” he said.
“It has rained a lot and the run-ups are absolutely soaking wet.
“It’s a bit of a shame for me really because it would have been a good chance to see the Leopards in action and I wanted to see who was next in line.”
Dorset will now turn their attentions to a friendly against Wiltshire at Calne CC on Easter Monday.
