Farsley press officer Josh Greaves inspects the frozen pitch at Throstle Nest following the postponement of their game against Hall Road Rangers in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division
Farsley’s game at home to Hall Road Rangers in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division fell victim to the freezing weather.
Following a pitch inspection at 11.15am on Saturday, the game was given the go-ahead. But a subsequent inspection by the match referee at around 2pm prevented the match from taking place.
That call cost the Throstle Nest outfit the leadership, because second-placed Park-gate won 2-0 at Arnold Town to be the first club to reach the 50-point mark for the season.
It was one of only three games in the division to be played and sees Parkgate at the summit with two games in hand.
