In response, Carwyn Johnson’s Hall side were 128-4 from 27 overs before no further play was possible.

The four points Northop Hall earned for the draw edged them above Prestatyn into fifth spot.

All other scheduled Saturday matches involving Colwyn Bay, Prestatyn and Northop Hall sides were cancelled due to rain.
