With the United Kingdom currently battling a cold snap, the conditions threaten to disrupt this weekend’s action in the Barclays Women’s Super League and in the Vitality Women’s FA Cup.
Pitch inspections and postponements are likely with snow reported in some areas over the last few hours and heavy frosts also being a common theme.
Here at FAWSL Full-Time, we are monitoring the conditions and how they will affect the fixtures involving the elite clubs who are in action this weekend. In the lead up to matchday, we will be using this page to keep fans updated with all of the pitch inspections and postponements.
Brighton & Hove Albion’s fixture against Everton and Liverpool’s meeting with Leicester City in the Barclays Women’s Super League have been postponed due to frozen pitches and dangerous surrounding conditions.
In the Vitality Women’s FA Cup third round, several ties have been postponed including games at Blackburn Rovers, Peterborough United, Birmingham City, Charlton Athletic, Sheffield United and London City Lionesses and Lewes. New dates for those ties will be announced in due course.
