THE weather has once again accounted for a high percentage of this weekend's scheduled non-league matches.
However, hopes are high that tomorrow's all-Suffolk FA Vase Fourth Round Proper tie between Needham Market and Kirkley & Pakefield will go ahead.
David Bugg, the Needham Market chairman, said today: “The pitch drained well overnight and the chances of the game going ahead are now 80-20, although there is a pitch inspection planned for 10am tomorrow.”
Maldon's match at Cheshunt in Ryman League Division One has been called off along with several matches in the Ridgeons League.
Suffolk's ill-fated FA County Youth Cup tie against Birmingham FA has been postponed for a third time and two Suffolk Senior Cup tie have also bitten the dust - Coplestonians v Team Bury and Woodbridge Athletic v Grundsiburgh - as well as the majority of the Kingsley Healthcare SIL programme.
