WEYMOUTH'S Vanarama National League South clash at Taunton Town this evening has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Bobby Wilkinson's men were scheduled to visit the Cygnet Health Care Stadium at 7.45pm but a pitch inspection was announced some eight hours and 15 minutes before kick-off.

With rumours that Taunton's pitch was already struggling after heavy rain, more inclement weather overnight has put paid to the fixture.

The sides are yet to confirm a date for its fulfilment.

Weymouth were eager to address the poor finishing that contributed to the 3-1 defeat by the Peacocks on Boxing Day.

Wilkinson's side will finish 2022 in 23rd of the 24 teams in the division, with their next league match at second-placed Ebbsfleet on Saturday, January 7 (3pm).
