Opening day abandoned in CCC vs Pride clash due to wet outfield
ST CATHERINE, Jamaica- Match officials have called off the opening day of the regional four-day contest between Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) and Barbados Pride because of a wet outfield at Chedwin Park in St Catherine.
Observer Online understands that a hose from a sprinkler used to water the outfield might have been inadvertently left on between Monday and Tuesday morning, causing severe saturation to a section of the field.
Despite efforts by the ground staff to dry the area on Tuesday and Wednesday, the officials decided to abandon the start of the match, with the players’ safety in mind.
