The wet weather that swept across England during Friday has hit Braintree Town's pre-season preparations and caused both of their games this weekend to be cancelled.

Having lost Friday evening's game at Bury Town to a waterlogged pitch, Lowestoft Town have informed the Iron that their pitch is also too wet for Saturday afternoon's scheduled game to go ahead.

It means that the next pre-season outing for Danny Cowley's team is now Tuesday's home game against League Two side Dagenham and Redbridge.
