EPL, others mourn Queen Elizabeth, postpone matches

By Daily Sports Nigeria on September 10, 2022

All English, Welsh and Northern Irish football and professional Scottish football has been postponed this weekend as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, reports BBC.

Ten Premier League and six Scottish Premiership fixtures were scheduled. EFL games were due to take hold yesterday and today, with six Women’s Super League fixtures – the first of the season – today and tomorrow.

England’s National League, FA Trophy and grassroots football is also off.

But cricket matches will go ahead as scheduled. Play will resume in England’s cricket Test against South Africa today and the Women’s IT20 match between England and India will go ahead.

Golf’s PGA Championship will restart today after play was halted on Thursday.

British horse racing will return tomorrow, with rugby union’s Premiership season beginning today after two fixtures yesterday were postponed. The world boxing title fight between Savannah Marshall and Claressa Shields has been postponed, with a provisional date of October 15 set for it to be rescheduled.

All British Boxing Board of Control tournaments have been postponed for the weekend.

Tomorrow’s Great North Run will go ahead as planned, with organisers saying it is “an opportunity to come together and express our condolences, while celebrating the life of our extraordinary Queen”, and that the event would be “more subdued out of respect.”

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK’s longest-serving monarch, died on Thursday aged 96, after reigning for 70 years. The government’s national mourning guidance advised that cancelling fixtures was not obligatory, leaving the decision to individual sports.
