Match cancelled due to 'bushy' pitch

The game that was scheduled for UB Hawks ground was delayed by 40 minutes before eventually being called off. The officials complained of long grass that made it difficult for them to see pitch markings. In an interview with the referee who only identified herself as Pearl, said they tried to be reasonable by giving the host team time to clear the pitch but that was not possible.

Although they respected the referee's decision the coaches of the two teams expressed disappointment with it.UB Kicks coach Dikoloti Moses said initially the game was scheduled for UB Stadium and that there were only told just few minutes before the game that it has been moved.The game was moved to UB Hawks' ground because the UB Stadium was being treated. Moses said there was nothing much that they could do to get the pitch ready because they did not even have tools.
