Manager Chris Richards was far from happy after Ludlow Town were left without any midweek action following the controversial postponement off their West Midland League premier division clash at Bromyard.
Richards was anxious for a swift riposte after the disappointing 2-1 home reverse against Heath Town. But the club, who now have just one point from three outings, were surprised to learn that Tuesday’s game at Bromyard was off due to a waterlogged pitch.
“We were surprised to say the least to hear the game was called off at 2pm,” said Richards.
“We couldn’t believe it as we’re only 25 miles away and the weather was not that bad in Ludlow and Bromyard have one of the best pitches in the league.
“It’s very frustrating as we wanted to get back on the park after last Saturday. We had a full squad available and were hopeful of getting a good result. We’ve now got no game until next Wednesday when we take on Wellington at home.”
Ludlow plan a training session tomorrow as they reflect on last Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Heath Town.
“Having conceded seven goals in our previous two games, we were pleased not to concede early and we should have been ahead at the break,” added Richards.
“The discipline was a lot better but we conceded a poor goal in the second half when we failed to pick up a lad from a corner.
“On their second goal we felt their forward pushed our full back while we also had a strong claim for a penalty turned down.”
Dale Williams hit the bar and Chris Breakwell the post as Ludlow went close in the first half. After going 2-0 down in the second period, it was always going to be tough but the hosts kept battling and reduced the arrears through Sean Evans.
