Town's Hampshire derby frozen off
11:08am Saturday 11th February 2012 in Hampshire Sport By John Boyman
BASINGSTOKE Town's Blue Square Bet South trip to Hampshire rivals Havant and Waterlooville has been postponed due to a frozen pitch at Westleigh Park.
Havant were confident that this afternoon's game would go ahead after volunteers cleared snow from the pitch yesterday.
However, overnight lows of -10 degrees celcius resulted in the pitch freezing and the game was called off following an inspection at 10am.
Three of Basingstoke's last four games have been called off due to the cold snap and the team last played two weeks ago.
Town are due to be in action at The Camrose on Tuesday evening, when Salisbury City will be the visitors, weather permitting.
