Match originally schedule for April 25th but Ross Sports cancelled on the morning of the game due to the ground not being available. Skegness did not claim the match and agreed for the game to be played on the 12th September.
Match ended in controversial fashion. With Ross on 138 for 7 with 7 overs to go the light started to deteriorate. Paul Butler took 2 wickets in 2 balls before Ross Sports captain Mark Roberts at the non strikers end asked the Umpires to offer the light to the batsmen. The umpires had no choice, offered the light and the final 2 batsmen walked off the pitch.
