The wet weather meant the round 12 two-day matches were abandoned without a ball being bowled, helping some teams top four hopes and hindering others.

There are now just two games remaining, a two-day match commencing next Saturday and a 50-over affair on March 7.

Northern Districts look to have the minor premiership wrapped up, while University, Wests and Wollongong currently sit second, third and fourth, respectively.

Still in the hunt for a top-four finish are Helensburgh, Dapto, Balgownie and Keira, the Tigers just two points behind Wollongong. With the ladder so close, outright victories will be crucial.

Wollongong will face Keira and Helensburgh take on the Magpies in round 13, with the finals picture expected to look much clearer in a fortnight's time.
