Saturday's National League matches at Aldershot Town, Gateshead and Yeovil Town have been postponed due to waterlogged pitches.

Aldershot were due to host Carlisle United, but heavy rain in Hampshire forced a pitch inspection on Friday, with a qualified match official declaring the surface at The EBB Stadium unplayable.

Meanwhile, the pitch at the International Stadium has similarly been affected by downpours, leading to Gateshead's fixture with Wealdstone also being called off.

Yeovil were due to play Woking but the game was postponed following a pitch inspection at Huish Park on Friday.

It is the Glovers second fixture in five days to be called off due to their pitch being waterlogged, after Tuesday's match against Aldershot was similarly postponed with heavy rain making the pitch unplayable.

New dates for the rearranged matches will be announced in due course.
