Relegation-threatened Sheffield FC saw their clash against fellow strugglers Frickley Athletic called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

The World’s First, who are five points from safety in the Northern Premier League Division One East, are back in action on Tuesday when they take on local rivals Stocksbridge Park Steels in a rearranged clash.

The original fixture in December was abandoned midway through the second half with the Steels winning 1-0 after fog reduced visibility around Bracken Moor.

Stocksbridge currently occupy tenth spot in the eighth tier and picked up three points against Lincoln United on Saturday thanks to a hat-trick from striker Luke Mangham.

Mangham now has 17 goals for the season.
