Weather hits Saturday games

Weather hits Saturday games

A number of games on Saturday have fallen victim to the weather.

After the midweek Northern Premier League programme was hit by the cold weather, further games are set to be postponed this weekend.

Such are the conditions at Mossley (pictured), that the decision has already been made to call off their home game against Kidsgrove Athletic, with no prospect of improvement due to the overnight forecast.

The Premier Division clash between Leek Town and Morpeth Town has also been called off due to snow, and again overnight conditions making it extremely unlikely that there would be an improvement, particularly given the distance that the visiting team has to travel.

Further games were called off following inspections on Saturday morning, with several teams particularly in the east having travel trouble.
