Tonight’s SSE Airtricity League Premier Division match between Finn Harps and Drogheda has fallen victim to Storm Eunice.
The decision has been made to postpone the opening night fixture following a pitch inspection at Finn Park this afternoon. Heavy overnight snowfall in Donegal led to referee Damian MacGraith deeming the surface unplayable.
The league says the game is off due to "pitch conditions and health and safety concerns", and that a date for the re-fixture will be announced in due course.
