The clubs had been set to do battle in the first round of the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League’s knockout competition this evening after two previous attempts to play the tie had been called off – the first due to Diamonds’ FA Trophy replay at Lincoln United and the second due to a waterlogged pitch.

Now it will have to be re-arranged again with the Dog & Duck surface being frozen during a pitch inspection this evening.
