Maybe I'm misreading this badly worded statement but doesn't it suggest that those areas of the pitch that are not exposed to sunlight were not covered?
How does that make any sense? Surely they are the areas that should be covered first.
It's not the best wording
What it means is that all of the pitch was covered.
However the areas in shade, due to the tall stands shielding the low level sunlight, will be at a lot lower temperature than those parts of the pitch that have had exposure to some sunlight
