Following increased rainfall from around 12 noon, and the forecast for this to continue, today's match has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Apologies to fans of both clubs for the lateness of the call off, as this is clearly the worst case scenario for everyone involved. It should be noted though, that the doubts over the playing surface only emerged within 3 hours of the planned kick-off time.

Our groundstaff and volunteers did everything to try to ensure the playing surface escaped the effects of the downturn in weather conditions. We all share the disappointment of this outcome.

A revised date will be announced in due course.
