Hastings game beats weather

The Pilot Field pitch passed an afternoon inspection thanks to the efforts of groundsman Simon Rudkins and a clutch of volunteers to clear snow off the surface. Kick-off is 7.45pm.

With every other Ryman Football League match off tonight, a win would move second-bottom United up four places in the Premier Division table and within three points of 15th-placed Cray with four games in hand.
