Fixture Reversal

[thestatman 10]

Thatto Heath Crusaders v Ince Rose Bridge will now take place at Pinfold Street, Ince, 2.30pm Saturday.

Decision taken to ensure the game goes ahead. The snow seem to hit St.Helens a little harder than Wigan last week and there is still quite a thick blanket of snow lying on large areas of the pitch at Crusader Park with the areas that have melted under water. The chances of the snow melting/being removed and more importantly the pitch draining in time were judged to be in the balance so the call was made to switch the game to Ince where the pitch is clear and they are confident they can stage the game. Hope this doesn't cause too much inconvenience to people planning to attend the game. The return game on 17th August will now take place at Crusader Park.

Kirklees council called Shaw Cross v Oldham off on Wednesday (far too early) we tried to reverse the game but Oldham said their pitch was not fit on Thursday ! so no game.
