"Community Trust staff and volunteers worked hard to clear snow from the pitch during the day but continuous rain over a the space of a few hours made the pitch unplayable.

"After inspecting the pitch, the referee announced that the match would be postponed.

"A new date for the fixture will be arranged in due course."

The fixture was due to have been played on Monday December 28 but was postponed due to Covid-related issues.

Lynn's next match is next Tuesday night when they travel to Bromley.
