Ulster v Munster Match Postponed
4 January 2008, 3:03 pm
By Stacey Ferguson
Ulster's Magners League match v Munster scheduled to be played at
Ravenhill (7.30pm) has been called off due to weather conditions...
With the Munster team already in Belfast having travelled from Cork
yesterday it had been hoped that the game would be able to go ahead as
planned but both a pitch and a health & safety inspection were taken
into account when making the final decision to postpone the match
following heavy snow-fall.
The pitch has been under approx 4 inches of snow all day although there
was no frost on the ground underneath, however, the safety of the some
12,000 ticket-holders was the main consideration in deciding to
re-arrange the fixture.
With supporters travelling from all over the province for the match and
treacherous conditions on the roads, not to mention within the ground it
was felt that it would be impossible to proceed, moving some 12,000 in
and out safely.Unfortunately the decision may have come too late for any
Munster supporters travelling from Cork or Limerick.
The match will now be re-scheduled by Celtic Rugby, the body that is
responsible for running the Magners League tournament.
Ticket holders are advised to hold on to their tickets, which will be
valid for the new date and to ensure that they are not lost as we will
be unable to re-issue them.
If the re-arranged date is unsuitable, supporters will be issued with a
refund - further details to follow next week and please note, refunds
will not be available until advised.
