POOR weather has intervened in Dorchester Town’s trip to Tiverton Town for a second time.

Officials at Tivvy’s Ian Moorcroft Stadium inspected the pitch at 2pm and found the surface to be waterlogged, preventing play.

No new date for the fixture has yet been announced.

Taking to social media to announce the bad news, Tiverton said: “Unfortunately despite a lot of hard work from our grounds team our home match today v @DorchTownFC has been called off.”

The contest is of huge importance in the battle to escape the Pitching In Southern League Premier South drop, with Tiverton sitting just three points behind the Magpies.

Tom Killick’s men move on to a home meeting with Hendon on Saturday (3pm).
