The decision to cancel the matches comes with disappointment, especially as teams were eager to kick off their first games of the season. Players and supporters had been looking forward to an exciting day of rugby, but safety remains the top priority for the Union.
“While it’s disappointing to call off the matches, the well-being of our players and fans is always paramount,” a spokesperson for the Malta Rugby Union stated. “We were all set for a thrilling day, and it’s unfortunate that weather conditions have forced us to make this decision.”
The Union has assured the community that they are more committed than ever to enhancing infrastructure and addressing the challenges posed by the unpredictable weather. Efforts are underway to improve the situation, ensuring that such disruptions are minimized in the future.
“We appreciate everyone’s understanding during this time and are determined to provide a better experience moving forward,” the spokesperson added. “We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the pitch soon.”
Fans and players are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates regarding rescheduled matches and other developments within the league. The Malta Rugby Football Union remains dedicated to fostering the sport and ensuring a safe environment for all involved.
