Sidley started well at the crease with captain Scott Woodroffe (46) and Jonathan Haffenden (38) top-scoring in a total of 225-9.

Roffey were unable to even get up a canter in reply as the heavens opened to leave Sidley stranded at the foot of the league.

It was a similar story for Bexhill in their match against East Grinstead.

Neil Turk hit an undefeated 99 as East Grinstead totalled 242-7 and in reply, Bexhill only managed 8-0 before rain brought the afternoon's proceedings to a halt.
