Looking forward to this one, but got doubts pitch will make it with the forecast rain from 4am. Unfortunately the weather this week prevented any meaningful work on it to help from last Saturdays game. Would be just about playable today, will see tomorrow. ??

Risborough Rangers v Leighton Town

Very disappointing news, the game of the day is off following a pitch inspection:

Risborough Rangers FC **MATCH OFF** We’re sorry to say that the match today against @LeightonTownFC is OFF. We have had a pitch inspection by a Level 4 Referee this morning due to the bad weather (and forecast) and he has deemed the pitch waterlogged and unplayable.

Munchkin - I see the game at Abbey Road sadly didn't make it following the pich inspection, that's really disappointing ?:

Old Bradwell United Unfortunately, our pitch has failed this mornings inspection. Centre area main issue and only going to get worse. So game against @eynesburyutd is off

It's strange that the postponements aren't showing on Full Time as yet, groundhoppers are reliant on that information aren't they. Also only the Risborough Rangers v Leighton Town postponement is mentioned on another Forum and not Old Bradwell United v Eynesbury United, Karen normally delights in reliably informing them straight away.

There's nothing worse than painstakingly finishing a programme at the twelfth hour and then the game gets called off, I have experienced that a number of times:

Ardley United 3 Leverstock Green 1

The honeymoon period is well and truly over now for Fergus Moore isn't it and the bubble has burst. Ardley United led 1-0 at the break with a penalty right on the whistle and although Kian Wilkes equalised for the visitors on the hour mark, another penalty on 76 minutes put the hosts back in front before they hammered a nail in Fergus's men's coffin on 88 minutes.

I see that Pitstone & Ivinghoe and Winslow United locked horns at the Pitstone Pavillion this afternoon in a friendly fixture, kick off 2.00pm. I gather it was a competitive affair with the visitors coming away with a narrow 1-0 win with a goal from Robbie Carter.
