Cumbernauld United v Darvel postponed after 'seven positive Covid tests'

Cumbernauld United's home clash with Darvel in the West of Scotland Premier Division has been postponed after positives tests in the Ayrshire side's camp.

The sides were due to meet at Guy's Meadow this afternoon but the game has now been called off, with a new date for the fixture to be announced in due course.

Darvel's official Twitter page stated: "Due to a COVID19 outbreak and ensuring player safety Darvel's next 2 league games have been cancelled."

Announcing the postponement on their page, Cumbernauld claimed seven players had tested positive.

They stated: "Due to proof of 7 positive tests being returned to the WoSFL by Darvel, our home game has been postponed in line with the league constitution. Wishing all those involved a speedy return to action."

United boss Tony Fraser had been looking forward to the tough test after returning to winning ways with a 1-0 win over Troon in midweek.

But they'll now prepare to for Wednesday night's clash away to high-flying Pollok.

Fraser's side are currently eighth in the top flight, with three wins, two defeats and a draw from their opening six games.
