A ground inspection today has confirmed that both diamonds at Grovehill Ballpark are flooded. The weather forecats indicates a sunny day, however the grounds crew has confirmed that, based on previous experience, the water will not dry out in time for Saturday’s games. This means that the all 5 games scheduled for tomorrow have now been cancelled.
Possibility of switching the U17 game between the Feltwell Redbacks and the Herts All Stars was discussed but unfortunately the diamond at RAF Feltwell is also flooded.
The news puts Sunday’s NBL games in doubt. Another ground inspection is scheduled on Saturday afternoon.
The next youth league games are scheduled for Saturday, 16 June, as follows:
