Scheduled Match: Southside United AFC vs. Third Lanark AFC

Venue: Nethercraigs Grass

Result: Postponed!

Well, football fans, Mother Nature has officially decided to call a halt to the Hills Solicitors Colleges Championship. The highly anticipated 10 AM kick-off between Southside United AFC and Third Lanark AFC this Saturday is off—not because of rain, or fog, but because the pitch at Nethercraigs has transformed into a giant, unpredictable ice block.

Yes, you read that right. The field is currently less a stage for the beautiful game and more a massive hazard sign.

⛞ When Grass Becomes Glass

It’s a frustrating but entirely sensible call. No one wants to see a match decided by who can better emulate an Olympic figure skater.

A frozen pitch isn’t just cold; it’s rock-hard and unforgiving, turning every slide tackle into a trip to the emergency room.

The officials took one look at the surface and decided, quite correctly, that the only thing getting scored today was a medical bill.

The safety of the players comes first, even if it means sacrificing our Saturday morning football fix.
