Captain Darren Harland was impressive with the bat scoring a fine 102 not out while teenage all-rounder Scott Cooper chipped in with 50 not out as the visitors posted 193-3 from their 55 overs.

Harland opened the batting along with Kunwar Bansil, but Bansil was dismissed for just 13.

Piet Rinke chipped in with 19 for Scarborough who lost number three Joe Padmore for a duck.

In reply Doncaster reached 77-6 off 35 overs before the game was abandoned due to the wet weather.

Former Zimbabwe international Rinke was the top performer with the ball for Harland's charges claiming four wickets for just 27 runs.

Leaders York picked up a victory at home to struggling Appleby Frodingham, which means that they are now eight points ahead of Harland's team.

It was a disappointing day for Scarborough as they were well on course for a win until the weather played its part.

Rinke was causing havoc with the Doncaster batsmen and was likely to continue to take wickets as Scarborough were looking to keep the heat up on York.
