The result was influenced by DLS after rain took 13 overs out of the game and gave Richmondshire a target of 127 in 27 overs, which they achieved with eight balls to spare.

Woodlands had elected to bat first and made 206-9 in their 40 overs as opener Tim Jackson (63) top scored with support from Kieran Collins (31), Scott Richardson (28no) and Tom Clee (22).
