Ballymena v Portadown Premiership match postponed
The postponement is the fourth at Ballymena's Showgrounds home during January
- Published
The Irish Premiership match between Ballymena United and Portadown has been postponed following a Saturday morning pitch inspection.
The game was called off after the playing surface at the Showgrounds was examined at 11:00 GMT.
Heavy rain over recent days made the pitch unplayable.
It is the fourth time that a scheduled match has been postponed at the Warden Street venue this month.
The league fixture against Glenavon fell victim of the weather on 3 January, plus two attempts to play an Irish Cup fifth round tie against Larne, on 10 and 20 January, also proved unsuccessful.
The cup tie has been rearranged for Tuesday 3 February and the Premiership match with the Lurgan Blues rescheduled for Tuesday 24 February.
Saturday's other two top flight games between Carrick Rangers and Dungannon Swifts at Taylors Avenue and Crusaders and Linfield at Seaview are set to go ahead as planned.
