The pitch at the Sportsground, which has been covered since Thursday, was inspected at noon today and the green light was given for the game to go ahead. But after a later inspection by referee Peter Fitzgibbon, the ground was deemed unplayable.

The game will be re-fixed at a later date and tickets purchased for Saturday's game will be valid for the re-fixed match.
