FOOTBALL and rugby games on Kirklees Council managed pitches have been cancelled for this weekend, December 10 and 11. 

Heavy rain over the last few days has resulted in the pitches being saturated and left in an unplayable condition.     A spokeswoman for Kirklees Council said: "Safety inspections will be made of the ground conditions by grounds maintenance staff and there will be an extra effort to prepare the pitches for  fixtures the following weekend."
