Referees to decide on weekend fixtures
COUNCIL sports pitches in St Helens will be open this weekend, with fixtures going ahead at the referee’s discretion.
Pitches have been closed in recent weeks following sustained rainfall.
A council spokesman said: "After checking on the condition of St Helens Council’s sports pitches and taking account of the weather forecast for the next few days, a decision has been made to keep the pitches open this weekend.
"All matches are to be played at referee's discretion."
