Braintree Town's Skrill Premier game against Macclesfield Town has been postponed today because of a waterlogged pitch at the Amlin Stadium.

Overnight downpours added to heavy rainfall seen in recent days meant there were parts of the playing surface sitting under water.

A referee carried out a pitch inspection at 9.45am on Saturday and declared it unfit.

A new date for the match will be announced in due course and the Iron's next outing will now be their Skrill Premier trip to Cambridge United on Boxing Day.
