ABERGAVENNY Town’s match at Penydarren Park against Ely Rangers due to be held this Saturday has been cancelled and will instead be played at Pen-y-Pound with a 2pm kick-off - weather permitting.

An Abergaveny Town spokesman explained, “Penydarren Park, home of Merthyr Town FC, boast an impressive setting and great facilities on their 3G pitch, that would have allowed us to play, whatever the weather.

“As a result their pitch-time is highly sought after and it’s extremely hard to get any slot at all, so we were left with only a 5pm kick-off.

“Due to Ely Rangers unwillingness to play in the late afternoon, we will have no other option but to attempt to play on Pen-y-Pound at 2pm. The usual pitch inspections will apply.”
