Silsden suffered another postponement at the weekend when their fixture at third-placed Ramsbottom United in the North West Counties League Premier Division was washed out.

The Cobbydalers have played just one game since the turn of the year and have had three call-offs on the spin since then.

Press secretary Jim Rosser said: “The players are frustrated. I haven’t seen them but I have been looking at their tweets to one another.

“Unlike last week, we didn’t have to travel, so at least that was a bonus.

“It has been exceptionally wet and we have had the odd deep freeze but it seems to be just right here on the Pennine ridge.

“Other clubs in our division are getting games played and that could affect us towards the end of the season.”
