Prospects "impossible" say Carmarthen

Richmond Park

PROSPECTS for The New Saints' visit to Carmarthen Town on Saturday were today described as "impossible" by secretary Gareth Jones.

Richmond Park is currently under a blanket of thick frozen snow and, with two nights of sub-zero temperatures forecast, "there seems little prospect of Saturday’s game against league leaders The New Saints being playable" say the Old Gold.
As requested by the Welsh Premier league the pitch was inspected this afternoon by a local referee who deemed the ground unplayable due to the three to four inches of snow and the frozen surface underneath.
"We have been in contact with League secretary John Deakin, TNS and with match referee Kevin Parry who are all aware of the situation here in Carmarthen," said Jones today.
"I took a look at Richmond late this afternoon with referee Phil Jones. With the extensive snow covering and a frozen surface underneath the pitch is unplayable.
"It seems impossible for the game to be played on Saturday but we will now await confirmation from League officials."
