THE Principality Premiership derby between Cross Keys and Bedwas has been postponed because of a waterlogged pitch, as has Newport's trip to Pontypridd.

Torrential rain has made the Pandy Park surface unplayable, the second festive derby in a row at the venue to fall victim to the weather after the Boxing Day encounter with Newport was postponed.

The Black and Ambers had been meant to face leaders Ponty at Sardis Road but that has also been washed out. Ebbw Vale are scheduled to be on the road to Neath.

In the SSE Swalec Championship the promotion battle between Bargoed and Pontypool has been postponed along with Newbridge's home clash with Tata Steel.
