Jer Lane's groundsmen Malcolm Nixon and Derek Wilson were the real heroes after their team defeated under-prepared Bridgeholme by nine wickets in the Terry Wynne Second Division of the Towergate Halifax League.
The duo, helped by their newly-acquired covers, did a fantastic job in preparing the wicket after all the rain.
Then Paul Ramsden (5-39), Phil Yeadon (3-45), Andrew Pinfield (60 not out) and Jason Slator (78 not out) did the business on the pitch, Bridgeholme being dismissed for 161.
