Devizes Town v Welton Rovers

Published: Feb. 1, 2014, 3:24 p.m.

Welton Rovers made the hour long trip to Wadworthshire to see if they could extend their good run of Western League form. In one of the few fixtures not called off in the morning, the Green Army came out in force to watch Welton take on a much improved Devizes Town side. However, despite passing an earlier pitch inspection, the referee called the game of at 3:20 pm, without a ball being kicked. Even a trip to the local builders merchants could get the game on, much to the disappointment of all concerned. With tempers running high, I turned to Bob Allard, the sober voice of reason, for his reflections on a bizarre turn of events.
