Kettering Town's clash with Gateshead today (Saturday) has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

The Poppies confirmed yesterday that there were concerns over the playing surface at Latimer Park and an early morning inspection has resulted in the Vanarama National League North encounter being called off with the pitch frozen.

With no scheduled midweek game, Kettering will now have a week to prepare for their Buildbase FA Trophy fourth round clash with league rivals Leamington at Latimer Park next weekend.
