Rain washes out NYL match between GCU and Victory

The NYL clash between Gold Coast and Melbourne Victory has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

The Round 17 National Youth League match between Gold Coast United Youth and Melbourne Victory Youth at Owen Park has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

A pitch inspection this morning deemed the surface unplayable after over 48 hours of incessant rain on the Gold Coast.

While the result of the match would make little difference to Gold Coast, who can’t challenge for the title, a win would have made a huge difference to Melbourne Victory, who are trying to avoid finishing last.

At this stage it is unclear whether the match will be rescheduled or cancelled.
