Blues Trip Postponed After Storm Rain in North West

Whitby Town's scheduled away game at Stalybridge Celtic has been called off.

Heavy rain as the twin storms hit England, over the last 24 hours, have resulted in a waterlogged pitch at Bower Fold, home of Town's Tameside opponents.

A pitch inspection took place at 8.30am on Saturday morning, though hopes were low after Storm Eunice sent strong winds and heavy rain across the country. Reports suggested if the rain hadn't stopped the game then sub zero temperatures may have frozen the pitch anyway.

The eighth-placed Seasiders were hoping to put some pressure on their rivals for a top-5 play-off berth in the NPL Premier.

Town are next in action on Tuesday night, at The Flamingo Land Stadium, when they take on Scarborough Athletic in the North Riding Senior Cup.
