The weather ended any hope Brierley and Hagley had of playing at the weekend as their game with Goodrich was called off due a waterlogged pitch.

The Briers are without a fixture again this Saturday and manager Tony Gore was frustrated by the lack of action.

He said: "There is nothing we can do about the weather but it is really frustrating to be sitting at home on Saturday's twiddling your thumbs.

"It is like we are having a mid season break that no-one wants. The lads will train as normal but with no game to play it is not the same."

The bad weather means that key midfielder Mark Gore has yet to begin his suspension.

The managers' son was sent off in Brierley's last match against Gornal for foul and abusive language and the postponement means he will not complete his ban until the end of the month, giving his dad a headache. "It upsets our plans and we could do without it, but he gets his bad language from his mother anyway!" he joked.
