Oxford United’s Blue Square Premier game at Kettering on Tuesday night was called off yesterday.

Originally scheduled for last Saturday and postponed because of snow, officials had rescheduled it for tomorrow evening, because Kettering have a massive fixture pile-up.

But with snow still on the pitch, terracing and surrounding roads icy and the prospect of further snow overnight, it was an easy decision to make.

There is no new date yet, but the game may end up having to be re-played on a Thursday night as Kettering still have 22 matches to fit in.

United’s Oxfordshire Senior Cup quarter-final against Old Woodstock Town, scheduled for Abingdon United tomorrow night, has also been postponed.
