Deluge day didn’t deter

Left: Pakenham's Jason Fisher became the latest culprit |punished for arriving late to a game and as a penalty Fisher was ordered to wear the white skins during warm-ups. Because there was no need for a warm-up, “Fish” paid the ultimate price for arriving 90 seconds late and was told to wear the tightly-clad garment for the remainder of the afternoon. However, impressed with his new-found cricketing whites, Fisher took the punishment a step further and decided the skins would be the ideal attire for Pakenham's after-match function. 73765 Pictures: Stewart ChambersLeft: Pakenham’s Jason Fisher became the latest culprit |punished for arriving late to a game and as a penalty Fisher was ordered to wear the white skins during warm-ups.

SENIOR West Gippsland Cricket Association players found themselves in a familiar position on Saturday as rain once again prevented any play.

Aside from a handful of junior matches, the WGCA declared the day a washout and will turn this week’s senior matches into one-dayers.
However, the juniors were not as lucky as most of their matches were abandoned forcing the teams to settle for a draw.
