POOLE promoter Matt Ford has apologised for the decision to call off early last Wednesday's home clash with Leicester.
The fixture was postponed in the light of predicted wet weather during the evening.
Ford told the Pirates website: "On the basis of expert weather predictions, we made an early call which, unfortunately, backfired.
"While we did have a lot of rain, the forecasted thunderstorms during racing time did not materialise and we were caught cold.
"The early call was made in what we felt were the best interests of everyone but maybe we got that one wrong and I apologise to all the fans who were left disappointed."
