Today's Darlington match at home to Kettering Town has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

Despite much of the playing surface at The Northern Echo Arena being in bright sunshine this morning, part of the pitch remains in the shade.

That section remains frozen and after an inspection at lunch time the match referee Dean Mohareb called the game off.

Quakers are already facing a fixture backlog having had a series of games called off before Christmas.

One of those was the scheduled trip to Luton Town, a fixture that is Darlington's next game on Tuesday.
