THE drop in temperature has delayed the restart of the rugby league, with two Clacks clubs postponing their games.

Alloa Rugby Club were due to get back to action this weekend against Madras, away to St Andrew's.

However, as temperatures plummet across the country, the game has been called off due to a frozen pitch.

The club confirmed the cancellation in a statement, with no rescheduled date confirmed just yet.

They said: "You won't be surprised to know that tomorrow's fixture vs Madras in St Andrew's has been rescheduled, due to frozen pitches.

"Outdoors sports season in the worst months of our year... it's always a hotly debated topic.

"Hopefully we will see you all next week at Earlsfield as we prepare to face Aberfeldy RFC."

Meanwhile, Alloa's counterparts in Tillicoultry have also had their game postponed, with the weather just as bad in Clacks.

Hillfoots RFC were set to host Crieff & Strathearn RFC to get their league action back underway, but will no longer be doing so.

The club said: "Sadly, due to the recent weather conditions, tomorrow's home game against Crieff & Strathearn RFC is being called off as the pitches are frozen."
