The JCT 600 Bradford League Management Board have postponed all of Saturday's opening day fixtures.

They have decided that the exceptional wet weather has resulted in many clubs being unable to carry out their normal pre-season pitch preparations.

The matches have now been re-arranged for Sunday, June 22, and the Management Board have made it clear that this is a one off decision. No further league fixtures will be switched as a result of bad weather.

Management Board members had been made aware of problems being experienced by a number of clubs and felt it was important to make an early decision in view of an unfavourable weather forecast for the rest of the week.

Chairman Graham Reid said: "It is crucial that the decision has been made early. We hope that this decision will be helpful to all clubs and we believe that in rearranging the games we have provided the opportunity for the matches to be decided on the field of play."

Clubs are reminded that the deadline for registering an overseas or first class player remain unaffected. Clubs have until 1pm on Saturday to comply with the league rules.

Tonight's meeting of the Management Board also issued guidance on thunder and lightening. Umpires are instructed to take the players from the field of play as soon as they hear the first clap of thunder or see the first flash of lightening.
