Cork 11:30am, Sunday April 14th 2019
Tomorrow's East Cork Division Track and Field Championships, scheduled for 11:30am, at CIT Track, has been CANCELLED, due to the adverse weather conditions. Met Eireann has issued a Status Orange Weather Warning for Cork, with heavy rain and high winds forecast.
An East Cork Division spokesman said that, regretably, the decision was reached following consultation with the clubs, and that it was felt that Health and Safety concerns dictated that the event should be called off. "We can't have children compete in heavy rain, and then wait in the stands, in wet gear, for their next event...and strong winds are likely to make T&F conditions exceedingly difficult"
At this point in time, no decision has been made regarding alternative date(s)
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE CANCELLATION
