Economic Development have made it known they’ve closed the fields:

All ACT Government sportsgrounds will be closed today Thursday 8th August due to wet weather and the forecast of further showers.

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 forecast for the weekend is for fine and sunny weather which should assist in drying grounds out. EDD apologises for any inconvenience.
