AFC Telford's clash with York called off
A waterlogged pitch has put paid to AFC Telford United's clash with York City.
The Bucks were hoping to take another step towards the National League North play-offs, however club officials had to make the call at around 9.30am.
Despite frost covers on the pitch, and help from an army of volunteers, the heavy snow of Friday and overnight caused the pitch to become waterlogged.
A statement on the club's website said: "Regrettably this afternoon's game with York City has had to be postponed.
"Despite the best efforts of the club staff and volunteers, a referee's inspection deemed that waterlogging of the pitch under the frost covers made the surface unplayable."
An army of volunteers answered a call from the club on Friday, to help with the covers and clear the surrounding areas.
The club thanked the fans, and added: "The club would like to thank all those who gave their time to assist clearing snow from the covers, and also thank York City, their players, fans and officials, for their patience and understanding in this matter."
A new date for the game will be announced in due course.
It is now two weeks without action for Rob Edwards' men, after last weekend's trip to Spennymoor was postponed.
