    Weather disrupts sport once again




    The freezing conditions across Britain have once again led to the postponement of a host of weekend sporting fixtures.

    Cardiff's game with Burnley and a host of Football League and Blue Square Bet Premier matches are off on Saturday.

    Scottish Premier League games at Aberdeen, Rangers and St Johnstone are off, while Celtic's trip to Hamilton is subject to a 0745 GMT pitch inspection.

    A raft of games in Scotland's Football League, four race meetings and several rugby union matches are also postponed.

    In Scotland, the First Division matches at Queen of the South, Raith and Ross County have fallen foul of the weather along with a number of games from the lower leagues.

    Saturday's race meetings at Newcastle and Haydock and Sunday's at Carlisle have also been postponed alongside Ascot's Friday event.

    Two games are off in rugby's Welsh Premiership on Saturday together with two British and Irish Cup matches, while one of Sunday's Cup ties has also been postponed.

    Friday's League One clash between Brighton and Notts County was also a victim of the weather.
