Jersey champions Farmers hope to begin their bid for glory at the European Cricket League finals on Wednesday after rain washed out the first two days.

Farmers had been due to open the final group stage of the 10-overs-a-side tournament against defending champions Hornchurch on Monday before taking on Italian team Roma and Swiss outfit Zurich Nomads on Tuesday.

But torrential overnight rain prevented any play at the Cartama Oval, in Spain, on Monday and left the pitch unfit for play on the second day of the finals stage.

Wet weather had also wiped out the final qualifying rounds last Thursday as Farmers topped their group with a perfect record of four wins from four.

The Jersey side are now due to play their delayed matches with Hornchurch, Roma and Zurich on Wednesday.

Matches follow against Darmstadt, of Germany, Skanderborg (Denmark) and Dutch side Voorburg on Thursday ahead of the weekend semi-finals and final.
