Step 5/6 round-up: A spate of postponements as Bilston FA Vase tie marred by altercation
Bilston Town suffered elimination in the FA Vase after losing 2-0 against Droylsden Town in a fifth-round tie marred by a post-match altercation.
Videos of the incident have circulated widely across social media and the West Midlands Police have launched an investigation into disorder.
The incident occurred after the game and appeared to show several individuals involved in a confrontation close to the touchline.
Bilston Town FC have also launched an internal review.
In a club statement, Bilston said: " We understand that there is a video or videos shared by people from the game today. We would like to state that this is not a fair reflection of the game or day as a whole. As a club we are in the process of investigating all footage from today’s game. We would like to thank the supporters of Droylsden FC for their cooperation."
In the game itself, Nelsson Van rounded the goalkeeper to open the scoring, before doubling his tally 15 minutes from time to put the seal on the win.
Meanwhile, there were a clean sweep of postponements across the Midland Football League due to the weather over the weekend.
Gornal Athletic also saw their FA Vase tie at Hallen called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
The only game which took place in the North West Division One South saw Stafford Town fall to a 3-1 home defeat against Cheadle Heath Nomads.
Stafford took the lead through Scott Wilding in the 11th-minute, but his opener was cancelled out by Callum Graham midway into the first half.
Daniel Lewis completed the turnaround for the Nomads with 69 minutes on the clock, before Harry St Romaine added a third deep into stoppage time.
As a result, Stafford sit three points adrift of the play-off places in sixth.
Elsewhere, second-place Bewdley Town's trip to Newent Town also fell victim to the weather in the Hellenic League Division One.
