Aces-Northern Districts Ford Trophy game in Auckland postponed
Auckland (MNP) Tomorrow’s Ford Trophy match between the Auckland Aces and Northern Districts at Colin Maiden Oval has been postponed at the agreement of all parties.
An inspection of the ground has revealed the unprecedented amount of rainfall in Auckland over the past two months has left it unfit for play, with no prospect of tomorrow’s game being able to be started.
Head of Cricket Operations Richard Brewer said it was considered better make the call early and postpone the game rather than have the teams assembled unnecessarily tomorrow.
“NZC, together with all the affected parties, is now investigating when the game can best be re-scheduled, along with the current playing status of Colin Maiden Oval.”
