Tommy Wright wanted the game called off earlier

Heavy overnight rain in the north west was followed by showers on Saturday afternoon so referee Adrian McCourt called off the game at 1415 GMT.

Ballymena boss Tommy Wright said he thought the match could have been called off before his team travelled.

Limavady manager Ollie Mullan agreed with the decision but was disappointed.

He hoped to build on his side's 3-0 win over Glenavon as the Roesiders try to get off the bottom of the table.
