DOWNTON'S derby with Ringwood Town was one of four matches in Wessex Division One to be a casualty of the inclement weather on Saturday.

High-flying Amesbury Town, who were playing host to US Portsmouth, also saw their league clash at Bonnymead Park postponed.

Meanwhile, in Wessex Premier, Verwood Town were given unwanted restbite as their game at Whitchurch United was called off.

All teams hope to return to action this weekend, providing the rain doesn't strike again.

The Robins prepare to meet the Blues, Ringwood host Fleet Spurs and Verwood are at home to promotion-plotting Blackfield and Langley. All kick off at 3pm.
