Ireland and Glamorgan washed out

Cricket : Ireland's losing streak in the Friends Provident Trophy came to an end this afternoon, albeit by default

Cricket: Ireland's losing streak in the Friends Provident Trophy came to an end this afternoon, albeit by default.  Today's match with Glamorgan has been abandoned due to heavy rain in Belfast, meaning both sides are awarded a point each.

Trent Johnston's side, who have lost all six of their completed matches in the tournament despite coming into the tournament after a positive World Cup campaign,  remain rooted to the bottom of the South Conference table following all nine of their games.

Matches against Sussex and Surrey had also fallen foul of the weather leaving Ireland with a none to healthy total of just three points.
