Storm Boelo disrupts local football fixtures
Both Derry City and Strabane District Council and Fermanagh and Omagh District Council had closed its playing pitches due to the forecasted weather.
THE weekend’s programme of football fixtures was almost entirely wiped out due to the disruption of Storm Boelo.
The Met Office had issued a yellow weather warning on Saturday as the storm brought strong winds and heavy rain to the region.
Both Derry City and Strabane District Council and Fermanagh and Omagh District Council had closed its playing pitches due to the forecasted weather.
That mean’t many of the scheduled games did not go ahead.
