TAUNTON Town FC's home match that was scheduled to take place at 7.45pm tonight (March 14) has been postponed.
The match against local rivals Weston-super-Mare AFC was rescheduled for a Thursday night after it was postponed earlier in the year.
And earlier today, the club said the game would go ahead after a morning pitch inspection.
However following heavy rain for the entire afternoon in Taunton, a second inspection deemed the pitch unplayable and therefore the game was postponed.
