Weather closes Council grass pitches this weekend
Situation under review if unforeseen improvement in weather conditions occurs
Given the current and forecasted weather conditions, Derry City and Strabane District Council has taken the decision to close all grass pitches this weekend (December 17 and 18) and wishes to communicate this to all users as early as possible.
Consideration was given not only to the impact of the frozen conditions on the playing surfaces and maintenance schedules but also the walkways, access paths and surrounding areas of grounds which need to be made safe.
The road conditions that teams would have to travel on was also a consideration.
We will continue to keep the situation under review in the case of an unforeseen improvement in weather conditions.
Over the Christmas period, grass pitches will be closed from 22nd Dec to 4th Jan except for approved league fixtures and subject to weather conditions.
