Wet Weather Information

It's raining! Are the games on?

What do I do? Who do I contact?

Please note: Rain does not automatically mean games are off.
It is the state of the ground that determines whether matches proceed.

Referees have final say on the closure of a ground after a visual inspection prior to a match. They may also call off a match if conditions deteriorate during a fixture.
