EVESHAM suffered a second holiday postponement when the New Year's Day clash at Western Division leaders Halesowen Town was called off due to a frozen pitch.

The sides, however, will get to meet this month with the Worcestershire Senior Cup replay having been arranged for Tuesday, January 29.

A new date has already been set for the home game against Stourport Swifts - a mid-morning inspection ended any hope of play on Boxing Day morning - and the sides will now meet at Common Road on Tuesday, February 12.

Phil Mullen's men will be hoping to complete a swift double when they travel to Queen Street on Saturday for the return with last Saturday's victims Bilston Town.

It was a case of feet up all round on the first day of 2002 as the freeze also left the players of Littleton and Pershore Town kicking their heels and hoping for a rapid thaw ahead of what promises to be a hectic new year schedule, especially for the former.
