TODAY'S Thurlow Nunn League premier division derby between FC Clacton and Stanway Rovers has been postponed, due to a waterlogged pitch at the Rush Green Bowl.

The sides had been due to meet in an eagerly-awaited 3pm kick-off.

However, an inspection was called for 9am today, because of concerns about the soggy Bowl pitch.

And after officials checked the surface, it was deemed unplayable.

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