All this weekend's local hockey action is expected to be called off with North Wilts the first of the local clubs to confirm their fixtures have been postponed.

Officials at Swindon, based at Isambard School, followed suit with Wootton Bassett also conceding they expect their matches to be postponed later today.

Elsewhere, Larkhill's United Services Point to Point meeting has been abandoned as has the pre-fight sparring session for next week's 'Fright Night' professional boxing show at the Oasis.

Boxing stars such as Nathan Cleverly, Dean Francis and Jamie Cox were due to attend today's sparring session at Swindon's Boxing Academy but the adverse weather conditions forced the event to be cancelled.
