Farsley Celtic were hoping to host Stafford Rangers in the Blue Square North tonight but Throstle Nest did not pass a pitch inspection.

It was no surprise that Silsden’s trip over the Pennine peaks to Colne also fell foul of the weather, while Eccleshill were prevented from travelling to Worsborough Bridge in Northern Counties East Division One.

The Eagles were also thwarted on Saturday.

Guiseley face a hectic run-in to the season after they failed to stage their West Riding County Cup semi-final against Barnoldswick Town.

The Lions have just one free midweek between now and the end of the season, which will be filled by the cup final if they beat Barnoldswick and will see them face at least one spell of four games in eight days.
