Rugby Scrimmage Cancelled this Saturday

The Rugby Scrimmage this Saturday has been CANCELLED due to waterlogged fields. The City of Orlando has closed their parks through Sunday night.

I have approached Brevard and Gainesville about trying to reschedule for next weekend but it is the Labor Day Weekend. I only have a field available on the Sunday if it is hosted in Orlando but have asked if either Brevard or Gainesville could possibly host it on the Saturday if they want a game.
