The Inter-Provincial Championship game between NW Warriors and Leinster Lightning has been abandoned for a third consecutive day.

Both sides take three points from the fixture which saw not a single ball bowled following heavy showers during the week which left the ground sodden.

The final game in the competition is scheduled for Rathmines next week when a win for either the Northern Knights or Leinster Lightning would see them clinch the title.

A draw may even suffice for the Northern Knights providing they can secure sufficient bonus points from the game.

They are currently 9 points behind the Warriors, with Leinster Lightning a further 5.5 points behind.

Action - weather permitting - starts next Tuesday at Rathmines (10:30am).

Before then, CricketEurope will be bringing live coverage of both the Irish Senior Cup final between Waringstown and Merrion at The Lawn on Saturday (11:30am) and the National Cup final between Drummond and Rush at Strabane on Sunday (11:45am).
