Diamonds' cup clash with Steelmen is frozen off

AFC Rushden & Diamonds' clash with Corby Town has been called off due to a frozen pitch at the Dog & Duck

AFC Rushden & Diamonds' Integro League Cup clash with county rivals Corby Town has been postponed again.

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.

The Steelmen return to Premier Division action at Sutton Coldfield on Saturday while Diamonds head to Gresley FC in Division One South.
