Early-morning inspection at the Lane as two more NCL fixtures bite the dust

The pitch at Lock Lane will be inspected at 9.00am today ahead of this afternoon’s Kingstone Press National Conference League Division One `derby’ with Featherstone Lions, which is due to be televised live on FreeSports.

The game had already been switched from Featherstone, where the pitch at the Millpond is unfit.

Two other fixtures, both in Division One, have been called off overnight as the bitter weather bites – at Bradford Dudley Hill and Skirlaugh, where Oulton Raiders and York Acorn were to have been the respective visitors.

The matches between Shaw Cross Sharks and Leigh Miners Rangers, Hull Dockers and Leigh East, and Gateshead Storm and Oldham St Anne’s, were called off yesterday.
