News from Christchurch Metro Cricket:
We have had significant rain since last Friday night on top of our wettest winter since 1975.
This has meant areas of outfield flooding and very wet pitch blocks which has restricted pitch preparation for this Saturday.
Metro has inspected all the cricket grounds twice since Wednesday and have made the following decision.
All Metro Adult and Youth cricket is cancelled on Saturday 14 October except for the following grades; please note the ground changes:

Please note:

No covers are required at Burnside Oval but hessian should be used to protect from any dew.
