Andover New Street's Wessex Premier Division fixture against Hythe & Dibden FC was called off on Saturday, January 10, due to a frozen pitch at the DH Property Services Stadium.

This is the third home game in a row called off since the turn of the year and the second due to a frozen pitch.

The decision for the cancellation was made after a pitch inspection at 11:30am deemed the surface to be unplayable.

New Street would have been looking to carry their 3-0 win in the last game of 2025 of Hamworthy Recreation into the new year, where they would have been facing a Hythe side sat just above the relegation zone in 18th

In a post on X, New Street said: "MATCH OFF - Due to frozen pitch."

The home side remains in eighth place in the league following their second cancelled league fixture of the new calendar year.

They will now focus on their upcoming Andover derby fixture against Andover Town in the NHDFA Senior Cup to be played at the DH Property Services Stadium at 7:45pm.
