Meanwhile Newcastle United and Sunderland had called off their final league cup Group One game to complete a trio of postponements, the Toon throwing in the towel as they would have needed to beat the Mackems by seven clear goals to take first place and qualify for the semi-finals.
Next week, weather permitting, every side in the division should have one league game apiece as clubs look to make a dent in growing fixture backlogs. Current table-toppers Carlisle taking a trip to the Wirral on Wednesday evening to face a Tranmere side who are currently fifth in a table of ten teams.
