Another league game has been postponed for New Street in 2026.

Andover New Street are yet to play a league or cup fixture this calendar year, following the cancellation of their Wessex Premier Division fixture against playoff hopefuls Brockenhurst FC on Saturday, January 17, due to a waterlogged pitch.

This is the third week that New Street have been out of action for with their last played fixture being their 3-0 away win over Hamworthy Recreation on December 27.

The decision for the cancellation was made following a pitch inspection which was conducted at 10:30am.

In a post on X, Andover New Street said: "MATCH OFF! No football in three weeks!"

New Street remain in eighth place, five points behind Laverstock and Ford, who occupy the final playoff position, despite being out of action for a prolonged period of time.

Their next fixture will see them travel down the road to fellow Andover side Andover Town FC in the NHDFA Senior Cup at Portway Stadium in a fixture that has been postponed twice already.
