The sharp frost caused every game scheduled to take place on grass pitches to be postponed.

But Netherton United’s 3G surface at the Grange hosted a 10-goal contest in Division One which was won 7-3 by the hosts’ reserve side over second-placed Farcet United.

Derick Dadzie and Ryley Nicholson-Barfoot both bagged hat-tricks for Netherton with Fabio Ramos also on target. Josh Pike scored twice for Farcet with Kristians Eizenbarts adding a third goal.

The Premier Division fixture list was a complete whiteout, but two games survived in Division Two and both were drawn.

That was a disappointing outcome for third-placed Deeping United who would have jumped to top spot with a win over mid-table Crowland Town Reserves.

James Russell, the top scorer in Division Three where’s he normally found playing for Deeping Reserves, scored as did Daryn Whiteman, but Crowland claimed a point with goals from Danny Firth and Jordan Kirchin.

Bottom club Tydd Reserves also picked up a welcome point from a 3-3 draw at FC Hampton.

A Daniel O’Sullivan hat-trick in a 3-1 win at Park Farm Pumas A took Hampton United to the top of the table. Hampton are a point clear of long-time leaders Malborne who have two games in hand.

Deeping United A drew 3-3 with Leverington Sports A for whom Lewis Day hit a hat-trick. Thomas Russell, Aston Whybrow and Jack Townsend netted for Deeping.
