Rugby-Union: Warriors clash beats the weather

Worcester Warriors' clash with Esher tomorrow will still go ahead despite the freezing weather which has hit the city.

Staff at Sixways have worked around the clock to prepare the pitch and complex ahead of the game which kicks off at 3pm.

Parts of the stadium pitch were covered overnight ahead of the frost, and following the completion of today's team run the entire playing surface will again be protected by the ground staff, led by head groundsman Martin Knight and assistant groundsman Richard Bush.

Fans are also advised that the roads in and around the Sixways complex will be gritted thanks to our friends at AA Salts to ensure fans can make the journey to the game safely on Saturday.

The club remains in regular contact with West Mercia Constabulary with regard to regional weather updates and liaising with the Highways Agency over local road conditions.
