Referee David Rock called the game off despite the best efforts of the hosts’ ground staff as snowy conditions worsened at Glanford Park.

Rock called for a brief halt after five minutes to change to yellow balls with visibility an issue for the players and officials.

Play was halted after 20 minutes as ground staff desperately tried to clear snow off the pitch.

The ground staff attempted to paint the lines blue to aid the officials as the players took a further 15-minute break to see if conditions improved.

But the game was duly abandoned following discussions between the officials and both teams.
