Talbot v Johnstone Burgh (postponed)

Tomorrow’s match v Johnstone Burgh in the West of Scotland Cup is an early casualty of the weather due to a frozen pitch.
Talbot’s 7.30pm kick off fell foul of match referee Chris Hughes who deemed parts of Beechwood too hard for the game to kick off. This was a major blow to the club and volunteers who had laid out frost covers on Tuesday afternoon and removed them just before the referee inspected the pitch. The club also had a local referee inspect the pitch at 3pm where the surface was deemed playable, but heavy frost in the three hour period proved to be too much for the pitch to take.
The club would like to apologise to any fans who made the journey to the ground and of course the players and officials of both clubs.
The club wishes to thank everyone who assisted in covering the ground yesterday in preparation for this evening’s match v Clydebank.
The game will go ahead following a precautionary inspection this afternoon.
Volunteers are asked to attend the ground at around 6pm to remove the covers, and we require further assistance after the match to relay in preparation for Saturday’s visit from Johnstone Burgh.
Your support and assistance is greatly appreciated by everyone at Auchinleck Talbot.
