THE start of the Ribblesdale League has been delayed a week due to the adverse weather conditions.

Great Harwood, Baxenden and Oswaldtwistle Immanuel were hoping get their season's off to a flier tomorrow (Sat) but instead the season will start the week after - on 22 April - with the fixtures which were scheduled for that date.

The fixtures which were meant to be played tomorrow - on the opening day of the campaign - will be rescheduled for later in the season.
