Football in 2009 got off to somewhat of a false start as the New Years Day schedules in the North of the country was decimated by the weather. The cold snap over the New Year period, which also brought dense overnight fog, caused several postponements due to frozen pitches. The whole of the Unibond League schedule was postponed due to frozen pitches, 21 matches in total. The Welsh Premier league saw only the match between Port Talbot Town and Neath going ahead after the initial pitch inspections, but the match referee then called that match off as Neath raised their concerns with the playing surface when they arrived, so another division with all of its matches called off. The Blue Square North had few fixtures that were played, but on the whole the weather took its toll on the matches today. With the forecast suggesting no let up in the cold weather, this also throws some of this coming Saturday’s matches into doubt.
