The first of the Government closures due to the inclement weather are in with the sports grounds shutting up shop, this page will be updated through the day.
“All ACT Government sportsgrounds will be closed today Tuesday 24 June due to wet weather and the forecast of further showers,” said a spokesperson for the Economic Development Directorate.
“The decision has been taken in order to minimise damage to the turf surfaces and in the interests of player safety.
“The focus is on protecting grounds from unnecessary wear and tear during training and in allowing weekend competition to go ahead wherever possible.
“The rainfall yesterday averaged around 10mm and with a further forecast of rain for today, and with very cold temperatures and low evaporation rates, grounds will be slow to dry out.”
