HARWICH and Dovercourt Hockey Club's top-of-the-table Suffolk Women’s League premier division clash against Christchurch seconds fell foul of the overnight hard frost, on Saturday.
An inspection was made at midday and the centre and rugby-club side of the pitch were frozen solid.
It meant there was no alternative but to postpone the game, which will now be played on January 10.
Harwich travel to Felixstowe tomorrow for their last game before the Christmas break.
