The Park Sportsground in Masterton is likely to remain the venue of the Wairarapa Cricket Association's More FM Cup Twenty20 semifinal match tomorrow despite vandals damaging the ground surface.
WCA executive officer Chris Cogdale expressed his displeasure at what he labelled a "reckless act" but was confident the game between Red Star and Flight Centre Lansdowne would be able to go ahead as planned.
"Parts of the ground are certainly not a good look but, right now, we don't see any need to transfer the game from there," Cogdale said yesterday.
Whoever wins tomorrow's game will go on to meet Turkey Red Greytown in the grand final to be played at the Queen Elizabeth Park oval on Sunday in a match which will bring the 2011-12 club season to a close.
If, however, rain means tomorrow's encounter is either washed out or doesn't allow for at least a 10-over match to be played - five for each team - it will be Red Star who advances to the decider and, if the latter has to be abandoned, then the two finalists will be declared joint winners.
