Pontyclun frustrated after Welsh League fixture postponed

Pontyclun have voiced their displeasure after their fixture against Albion Rovers was postponed.

Personnel from visiting club Pontyclun claimed they inspected the pitch five hours prior to kick-off before the game was called off two hours later.

Kimberely Park – The home pitch of host club Albion Rovers – last hosted a Welsh League match on September 7 – a 3-2 defeat to Abertillery Bluebirds. 

In late September, the Kimberely Park playing surface was covered in metre-high water from flooding. 

A tweet from the account of Pontyclun manager Barry Quinn read: “Hugely frustrating day yesterday. 

“Having visited the ground at 8.15 am yesterday and pitch was 100% playable. 

“Clearly had no intention of playing whatsoever.

The Welsh Football League say a complaint hasn’t been received by Pontyclun. Albion Rovers have been contacted for comment.
