Corby Town were left frustrated on Saturday as their proposed top-of-the-table clash with Walsall Wood was postponed due to circumstances beyond the club’s control.
The Steelmen were due to host the second-placed west midlanders, but the Pitching-In Northern Premier League announced on Friday the game was being postponed.
Corby released a brief statement on X which read: “Tomorrow’s clash with Walsall Wood has been postponed, we will make no further comments at this time”, and then added the match was off “due to circumstances beyond our control”.
The announcement came after the news that Walsall manager Ian Long and the club’s backroom staff had all quit their roles, with the boss revealing ‘things have not been right off the pitch for some time and multiple broken promises, along with unpaid wages, have driven me to this decision’.
To date, Walsall have played nine league games, winning five and drawing four.
They dropped to third on Saturday due to their inactivity, with Quorn’s 5-0 win over Grantham seeing them go second, four points behind Corby with two games in hand.
