Harps game is abandoned - due to waterlogged pitch

The Airtricity League Premier Division clash between Sligo Rovers and Finn Harps tonight was abandoned - due to a waterlogged pitch!

The score at the time was 0-0.

A deluge forced the players off the pitch and the referee had no option but to abandon the game.

Earlier this season there was floodlight failure when the sides met at the Showgrounds. The score was 1-1 with just a few minutes left and the score was subsequently allowed to stand.

Tonight's abandonment will only lead to more fixture headaches for Harps who already have backlog games against Cork City and Dundalk to come.
