Well folks, I did try and warn of the forboding inclement weather forcast, as did others on here !

But this is were the groundsmen prove their worth and value, hopefully despite the possibility of a shower or two, there should be play tomorrow down at Comber, fingers crossed !

Andy,
Despite his huge capacity, even he can't absorb this amount.

don't worry Vic - I have had experience of Mr. Moreland sen. getting the place dried up quickly.

Not all doom and gloom, there may be play after lunch tomorrow.

Jeff,
As you say, there is indeed heavy rain heading our way very early Friday morning and indeed to continue, into the mid morning !

The tricky part is, it should ease off mid-day onwards and how soon could the Comber pitch recover ?
Although I'm told that 'the Green' is by nature one off, if not the dryest and most water absorbant pitches in the country !

So therefore could be a late start, with the possibility of a continuation into Saturday, although I conceed, it's a hard one for the organisers to call !

Jeff, are you serious? Call it off lol
Not sure about that although would help the annual leave balance at work!

Anyone think with every forecast giving a lot of rain that the game should be called off tonight ? Then most havent wasted a day and it might just possibly add too the crowd friday week.Only my opinion but be shocked if theirs any play before 4 or 5 pm

If the final starts tomorrow and is unable to be completed, then play may continue on Saturday

Senior Cup Final :

Can it not run over onto this Saturday, as I assume neither team have a game?

Reserve date for the Challenge Cup final if no play is possible tomorrow is next Friday, 6th August.

Let's hope the forecasters have got it wrong for Friday!
