COWDENBEATH saw their scheduled Lowland League match with East Stirlingshire this afternoon called off as wintry weather impacted fixtures involving local clubs.
The Blue Brazil had been due to host the 'Shire for the second time in four days - having played them on Boxing Day - but the game was called off because of a frozen pitch.
A pitch inspection was called for 11am this morning due to the wintry conditions, and the Central Park surface was deemed to be frozen and unplayable.
