EmailRugby league: Catalans Dragons have confirmed that Saturday's Super League match against Castleford will go ahead following a successful snow-clearing operation.
The game was in doubt after 40cm of snow fell in Perpignan earlier this week, but an army of 100 volunteers joined the players and groundstaff to start a major clearing operation on Thursday.
"We had 40 more volunteers this morning and we have completely cleared the snow from the field," said Catalans spokesman Yannic Rey.
"It is now sunny and the field is perfect. There is no problem, which is a big relief.
"It is important for us to play a home game because four of our first five matches have been away."
