Currently the Male Second Division League matches play in the afternoon, while the Female Division one and two league matches were currently suspended until further notice.
The Ramadan night games, which started last weekend, attracted hundreds of fans as two fixtures were played on Friday and Saturday, while one match played on Sunday.
