Derry Council grass pitches are to be closed this weekend due to current and forecasted weather conditions.
Council have taken the decision to close all grass pitches this weekend- 17th and 18th December- and wish to communicate this to all users as early as possible.
A spokesperson for Council said: "Consideration was given not only to the impact of the frozen conditions on the playing surfaces and maintenance schedules but also the walkways, access paths and surrounding areas of grounds which need to be made safe.
"The road conditions that teams would have to travel on was also a consideration.
"We will continue to keep the situation under review in the case of an unforeseen improvement in weather conditions.
"Over the Christmas period, grass pitches will be closed from 22nd December to 4th January except for approved league fixtures and subject to weather conditions."
