Newport County's match against League Two leaders MK Dons on Saturday was postponed due to heavy rainfall.

Despite the £750,000 spent on improving drainage and installing a new pitch in 2017 at Rodney Parade, the adverse weather sweeping Britain proved too much for the playing surface.

No date has yet been set for the rearranged game.
