Sleaford Town's home match against Anstey Nomads has been postponed again.

The Greens were due to host their highflying United Counties League Premier Division North rivals this evening, a fortnight after the contest was postponed due to a waterlogged Eslaforde Park pitch.

But the FA's Full Time website reports the contest is on hold due to 'confirmed positive Covid-19 tests'.

"Regrettably tonight's game at home to The Nomads has been called off due to several players falling ill," a Town statement read.

"We will of course let you know about the re-arranged date. Beginning to think this game is jinxed."

Sleaford manager Tom Ward had said his side were looking forward to the challenge this evening.
