THE first weather casualty of the Highland League football programme has been unveiled.
The Moray derby between Rothes and Keith has been postponed.
Mackessack Park has been left in a waterlogged state following rceent snow and rain and failed a pitch inspection.
It is the fourth consecutive Keith match to be called off after their home game with Fort William was twice off along with their match against Deveronvale.
Rothes, meanwhile, face an extremely congested fixture programme over the next two months.
With just seven weeks to play the regulation season before the play-offs, Rothes have at least 14 matches left including Wednesday's rearranged Highland League Cup semi-final against Fraserburgh.
Nine of those matches will be played at Mackessack Park, which manager Ross Jack described this week as a surface resembling porridge.
The remaining Highland League games still on today at present are as follows:
Deveronvale v Forres Mechanics
Formartine United v Lossiemouth
Fort William v Clachnacuddin (at Clach)
Fraserburgh v Turriff United
Huntly v Brechin City
Inverurie Locos v Buckie Thistle
Strathspey Thistle v Brora Rangers
Wick Academy v Nairn County
