There will be little sport on the Island this weekend as the threat of Hurricane Igor has forced the cancellation of a host of events.

Cricket, cycling, golf, tennis and football's traditional season opener, the Charity Cup, have all fallen foul of the weather, with governing bodies adopting a safety first approach to a storm that could be worse than Hurricane Fabian in 2005.

Devonshire Cougars and Dandy Town were due to play each other in the Charity Cup at BAA Field today, however that will now be played next Friday at Devonshire Rec at 8pm.

The Dudley Eve matches between North Village and Somerset Eagles, and PHC and Boulevard, which were due to take place that night at the same venue have been switched to Sunday, September 26 at BAA Field. Those games will now start at 1pm and 3pm.

Bermuda Football Association have also cancelled all National Academy training sessions for the next few days, and people are asked to look at the BFA's website (bermudafa.com) for further updates, if they are able to do so.

All the weekend's cricket has been cancelled, with the final two group stages of the Twenty20 competition being completely wiped out. All the teams will share the points from their respective matches, and that means that St David's, Willow Cuts, St George's and Somerset are through to next Saturday's –semi-finals.

Today's Women's Super 6 League games have also been cancelled, while the Warrington Soup "Zuill" Memorial match scheduled for Lord's in St. David's has been postponed until September 25th.
