Hampstead  failed to take points from their mid-table rivals in a rain- interrupted match on Saturday.

After losing the toss, Hampstead went into bat and George Leadbetter made 31 before a break for rain.

Skipper Mark Divin top scored with 90, adding 104 runs with Raoul Colvile (48) as the home side were restricted to 239 all out.

The rain shortened the innings but Finchley made the most of their 43 overs.  Divin took two for 43 to give Hampstead hope but the visitors wrapped it up with wickets to spare.
