The Seagulls went into the final Divisoin One game of the season against Griffins on Thursday needing to avoid defeat to claim the title, having gone into the match equal on points with Independents and Wanderers-Rovers at the top of the table but with an inferior net run-rate to both.
A boundary-blitz from Griffins captain Tom Kirk then set Cobo a target of 148 from 16 overs, but the run chase was curtailed by a spell of heavy drizzle with the score 31 for 0 from 2.1 overs.
With the mat greasy from the rain causing the bowlers to slip and the grass strip that is being prepared for Saturday’s inter-insular immediately covered up, the umpires abandoned the contest, meaning both sides were awarded a point apiece which was enough for Cobo to clinch the title.
