Wolves Women 'disappointed' by 'late' postponement of top-of-the-table Burnley clash
Wolves Women have expressed their disappointment at the perceived late postponement of today’s top-of-the-table clash against Burnley.
The potential title decider was due to take place at Leyland this afternoon in a mouthwatering clash between Wolves in first and the Clarets in second.
The game was due to kick off at 2pm, but a social media announcement at just before 11.30pm confirmed the frozen pitch was deemed “unplayable”.
Our home match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, scheduled for 2pm today, has been postponed,” the Clarets said.
“Despite the best efforts of everybody involved, the pitch has been deemed unplayable as a result of the cold weather.
“Details regarding the re-arrangement of this fixture will be confirmed in due course.”

In a statement of their own, Wolves Women expressed frustration that an earlier decision wasn’t made.
“We can confirm that today’s game at Burnley has been called off due to a frozen pitch,” the club wrote.
“Despite raising our concerns with Burnley and the league yesterday with a yellow weather warning in place, we are disappointed that the decision has been made at this late stage, incurring unnecessary travel costs for both the club and our supporters.”
The Clarets sit just two points adrift of Wolves, with both sides yet to taste defeat this season.
