WINCHESTER City's scheduled Sydenhams Premier game at Newport IoW tonight has been postponed early following discussions with the league
City's director of football Dave Malone explained: "The pitch is already waterlogged and with further rain and high winds forecast, the sensible decision to call the game off has been taken. Hopefully this will be in time for any supporters intending to travel to the game to change their plans.
"Whilst it is a disapointment to lose the game, the safety of our players and supporters is of primary importance - and we accept that this early decision is the correct one."
