unfortunately we will be forced to postpone the game for at least a few weeks. This is for everyones safety, greg (the owner) went out to the field a few days ago and discovered that the ground is infested with hornets nests through out the field. for the last few days he has attempted to remedy the problem by himself and made a little headway but it will not be enough to keep everyone safe during the game, greg does not want to risk anyones health over a game.
This news is terrible for us as this would of been our largest attended game to date and we wish we could avoid canceling it but it is just not worth the risk of hurting someone.
Greg will be getting the issue sorted out as soon as possible and once the field is safe for us to resume gameplay we will set a new date. Greg has been on the phone all day with exterminators and getting quotes. The exterminators said that the hornets are making nests in the ground this year due to the extreme dryness we have been having. The good news is that if greg is unable to get rid of them on his own, the hornets will naturally leave the area as the cold weather comes around the end of september. so that is the latest we can expect a game. with luck we will get one much sooner then that.
Again we regret to postpone the game but it is in the interest of safety and that always comes first at matrix.
