The Principality Welsh Premier League match between Bala and Llanelli, scheduled for this afternoon has been postponed.

Llanelli AFC called the League at 8:20 this morning with concerns over player safety, as five of their squad were facing severe difficulties when attempting to drive from their homes. The League has a duty of care to its players and managers and decided to postpone the game having read the Travel Wales website. The League then tried to call the Bala Town secretary at his home, mobile and club to explain the situation, but could not get through and left a message.

Shortly afterwards, the League were able to speak with the Secretary to explain the situation and understood Bala's disappointment, but stressed that the decision was taken as a safety measure.

The League sympathise with Bala Town who were expecting a large crowd this afternoon, and their hardworking staff who would have ensured that game could have been played at Maes Tegid.

The League also understands Llanelli disappointment, who still had to pay £800 for their team bus and also to their excellent travelling fans, who made the journey yesterday and paid for overnight accommodation.

With the backlog of fixtures already causing problems for clubs and the League, another postponement is disappointing, but the correct decision was taken this morning.

The League were disappointed with the Press Statement issued by Bala Town FC which was factually incorrect. The statement described the events as 'unprecedented', which is not true, as a TNS v Haverfordwest County fixture was postponed a few years ago due to the extreme weather in Pembrokeshire, despite the host club being able to stage the game. The club were also discussed about the issue at the earliest opportunity.

Llanelli will now have to travel to Bala in midweek, with the date to be confirmed.
