THERE was no joy for NWCL first division outfit Clitheroe, who next weekend travel to Arlesey in the FA Vase's fifth round, as their home clash against Curzon Ashton was postponed.

Ramsbottom's home tie against Congleton was also off.

Also rendered inactive by the weather in Division Two were Bacup, who had been due to face Formby at home, Colne, scheduled to travel to Castleton Gabriels, Darwen and Nelson's respective home meetings with Ashton Town and Leek CSOB and leaders Stand had their home meeting with Cheadle Town called off.
