Bathurst City's eight-run win over City Colts was the only one played out, with Redbacks moving up to fourth with their win and while the other two games in Bathurst - St Pat's Old Boys versus Centennials Bulls and Rugby Union versus Kinross - did see some play, the matches were ultimately abandon.
Saints had finished day one with a score of 7-286 thanks to centuries from Andrew Brown and Connor Slattery but after the rain they declared before play in an attempt to get a result, however, with the match lasted 17 overs, with Bulls on 2-41 before rain called off the game and resulted in a draw.

The result keeps Saints undefeated and top of the ladder, ahead of Orange City.
Rugby's match only lasted a short period too, however, thanks to their first innings win on day one, Bulldogs were able to secure a victory.
Bulldogs had declared before a ball had been bowled on day two, in attempt to get an outright win but due to the rain and the fact that the Kinross wickets weren't falling quick enough, there wasn't enough time.
Had Bulldogs pulled off an outright win, they would've jumped into second, however, they had to settle for six points for the first innings win, tied on 49 points with Orange City.
The Warriors superior quotient keeps them in third.
No Orange games were finished either, with the Orange City versus CYMS going the way of the green and golds after their first innings win on day, while the Cavaliers versus Centrals match was declared a draw.
The Warriors were dismissed for just 71, before CYMS finished day one on 7-114.
Cavaliers had declared at 7-242, that scored achieved thanks massively to an unbeaten 123 from Matt Corben, with Centrals trailing by 222 runs by the end of the first day of play.
