Turriff United's match against Brora Rangers has fallen victim to the freak weather conditions.

The Haughs failed a 7.45am pitch inspection today, making it the third match to be postponed due to waterlogged pitch conditions.

Yesterday saw Rothes' match at home to Nairn County, and Keith's game against Wick at Kynoch Park both postponed.

One game that did pass a Saturday morning inspection was Brechin City's game against Forres Mechanics at Glebe Park, where the park has dried out sufficiently for football.

And Strathspe Thistle's game against Formartine United has also been given the go-ahead in Grantown.

Several North Region junior football matches have also been called off.

In the Premier League, Dufftown's Westburn Park is waterlogged and their game against Stoneywood-Parkvale is off, along with Stonehaven's clash with Ellon.

Moray sides have been affected in the Championship, as Lossiempouth United's trip to Islavale has been postponed along with Forres Thistle's home clash with Sunnybank.

Rothie Rovers against Buchanhaven Hearts is another match to fall by the way side.
