PORTLAND United’s scheduled Dorset Premier League game against Poole Borough has been postponed this afternoon.

The contest, which was scheduled for a 2pm kick off at Grove Corner, will not take place due to the visitors not being able to raise a side.

Speaking on behalf of the Blues, chairman Robin Satherley told Echosport: “We are very disappointed, very often a game which is cancelled at the last minute gives you more work than the game going ahead itself.

“This would have been the last game at Grove Corner before Christmas and the end of the year.”
