TODAY's game between Hereford United and Hampton & Richmond Borough has been called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

The FA Trophy fourth round game was not subject to a pitch inspection last night but after much heavy rain, and more on the way, the match had to be postponed. At 8.45am, the pitch was just about playable but the referee felt the rain and winds would have made it unplayable within hours.

The Hampton team coach was due to leave at 9am, so an early decision was welcomed to prevent them travelling.

The teams will try again on Tuesday night, kick off 7.45pm.
