BIG FREEZE STRIKES AGAIN

There were a large number of postponements in the national league today due to icy conditions.

The Premier Division of the Investec Women's League, due to play its first matches after the winter break, saw only two matches played. Clifton managed to close the gap between them and third placed Canterbury with a 2-1 win, whilst University of Birmingham added to Cannock's woes with a 5-0 win at home. Cannock remain with no points and an X-rated goal difference of -51.

There were no matches in the Investec East Conference but the North and West Conference managed to muster three games each. North Conference Springfields might be wishing that their game against Beeston had been cancelled as they went down 11-0, with Kim Leiper and Nikki Ward both scoring hat-tricks for Beeston.

There were scheduled to be three men's East Conference matches today, but only one survived the icy conditions. The surviving game saw Wimbledon beat City of Peterborough 4-1.
