Tuesday night's game between Darlington and Scunthorpe was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch less than 20 minutes before kick off following a prolonged spell of heavy rain.

The pitch was in good condition when Darlington FC club officials arrived at 4.30pm, and the referee was also satisfied with its condition when she arrived at the ground at 6pm.

However, the rain became heavier, and it was clear to the referee during the warm up that the pitch was becoming waterlogged in places, and the ball wasn't bouncing.

The referee consulted with both managers twice before regretfully making the decision to abandon the game.

A new date for the game will be announced in due course.

We would like to apologise to all supporters for any inconvenience caused, but circumstances were beyond our control.
