All three of Tuesday afternoon’s Breedon Highland League matches have been postponed due to wintery conditions.
The festive clashes – Wick Academy v Brora Rangers, Rothes v Strathspey Thistle and Nairn County v Clachnacuddin – were all set to kick off at 3pm.
However, a 7.30am pitch inspection at Harmsworth Park saw the traditionally well-attended Wick v Brora derby axed due to snow on the playing surface:
this will come as no surprise to anyone waking up in Caithness this morning ….Todays derby match v Brora is OFF due to a snowbound pitch.

The Mackessack Park meeting between Rothes and Strathspey then fell following a 9.30am inspection, with a hard frost on the pitch.

The fate of Nairn v Clach was dependent on an 11am inspection – however, the Wee County have announced the fixture at Station Park has also been postponed:
We are gutted to say MATCH POSTPONED.

The weather has hit the Breedon Highland League hard in recent weeks and new dates will now need to be found for three more matches.
