Wild weather closes ACT sportsgrounds

ALL ACT government turf sportsgrounds have been closed for training and match play today (August 4) and tomorrow, due to heavy rainfall.

Closures exclude the Melrose and Nicholls synthetic fields, and the Woden athletics track.

The decision was made in order to minimise damage to turf surfaces, and the condition of the grounds will continue to be assessed with a decision being made tomorrow regarding training and match play for the weekend.
