THE ELEMENTS put this weekend’s non-league fixture list in an icy grip.

Swindon Supermarine, who beat fellow Southern League Division One South & West promotion chasers Tiverton Town seven days ago, were due to host Mangotsfield United on Saturday but that clash was postponed following a pitch inspection at the Webbswood Stadium.

Teams from the Hellenic League also saw conditions wreck their scheduled matches.

Second-placed Fairford Town’s trip to Milton United was postponed, as was Purton’s game away at Abingdon United, who are two places above the villagers in fourth in the Division One West table.

Meanwhile, Shrivenham and New College saw their Supplementary Cup first-round ties fall by the wayside – Shrivvy were due to go to Hook Norton while College were pencilled in to host Cheltenham Saracens.

Malmesbury Victoria also saw their Toolstation League First Division match with Ashton and Backwell United postponed.

There was no let-up for Swindon Town Ladies’ FA Women’s Premier League Southern Division clash with Coventry United at the Gerard Buxton Sports Ground was also frozen off on Sunday.
