SHEFFIELD have made the early decision to postpone Thursday’s (June 11) scheduled home fixture against Northampton.

It’s the second time that the planned clash with the Foxes has been cancelled, but with heavy rain striking S6 on Wednesday with a worsening forecast also in place for Thursday, club chiefs have made the sensible decision to delay the head-to-head.

It means Northampton’s first trip to Owlerton will now be on Thursday, July 30 with a new date of Thursday, September 10 confirmed for the R2 fixture.
