This is the scene after the thunderstorms of Wednesday evening flooded the Bashley (Rydal) ground and led to the cancellation of the club's scheduled ECB Southern Premier Division round one match against South Wilts.
"It's soul destroying for our groundstaff, who have worked really hard to get the ground playable after the wettest winter in living memory and all to no avail," said Bashley chairman John Neal, who revealed that the club had lost £7,000 in income from last season's numerous cancelations.
Also cancelled is Bournemouth's match against promoted Basingstoke & North Hants, while Ventnor's Steephill bowl is still full of water, saving Waterlooville an expensive day out.
Langley Manor have been unable to do any work at Knellers Lane such is the stare of the ground. They were due to host Fair Oak.
Parley's SPL3 match against Sparsholt is also off.
