Mid and East Antrim Borough Council has said it deeply regrets the postponement of Saturday’s Irish Cup tie at the Ballymena Showgrounds due to a badly waterlogged pitch.
In a statement issued to Belfast Live, the council says it is currently working with “pitch maintenance specialists to manage and improve the pitch on an ongoing basis”.
However, it also suggests a long-term and sustainable solution to the problem may lie in the eventual release of Sub Regional Stadia Funding by the Northern Ireland Assembly.
