Weather denies table-toppers

MIDLAND Alliance leaders Stratford Town were left frustrated when Saturday's home game against Westfields was postponed.

Heavy rain during the morning left the DCS Stadium surface under water and the decision to call the game off was made during a 10.30am pitch inspection.

Second-placed Stourport Swifts reduced Town's lead at the top to 13 points after they gained a 1-1 draw at Rocester.

Other results saw Bridgnorth Town, who lie in third place, beat Heather St John's 4-1 at home while fourth-placed Tipton Town crashed to a shock 4-2 defeat at bottom club Ellesmere Rangers.

The game between Loughborough University and Gornal Athletic was postponed as was Studley's home game against Coleshill Town.

Studley are in action on Tuesday night when they entertain Gornal Athletic. Kick-off at The Beehive is 7.45pm.

Stourport also have a game on Tuesday which sees them travel to Kirby Muxloe.

Stratford have no midweek game this week before facing two crunch home games against Gornal on Saturday and Bridgnorth the following Tuesday.
