THE rain intervened to wash away any chance Chorley Cricket Club had of winning the Vaux Northern League over the Bank Holiday weekend.
The crown went to St Annes on Monday without a ball being bowled.
Second placed Chorley's game against Kendal on Saturday was called off as Chorley were unable to bat due to the weather after they had had Kendal at 74-8 before the rain arrived.
St Annes' match with Morecambe was abandoned and the two top teams were left looking to Bank Holiday Monday action.
But it was a similar story, as Chorley's game at Morecambe was abandoned without any play taking place.
The two points Chorley picked up means it is mathematically impossible for them to now overtake St Annes.
