The contest was called off following an inspection of the playing surface shortly after midday.

There is still football to watch in Northwich this afternoon, with Vics hosting Trafford in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League’s Division One North.

Witton Albion make a short trip to Warrington Town, favourites to win the title.

Barnton, after bowing out of the Men United Cup at the semi-finals stage on Saturday, turn their attention back to a North West Counties League game against back-markers Whitchurch Alport.

Those games kick off 3pm.
