Northern Ireland match postponed for second time

Northern Ireland have seen their World Cup qualifying match with Russia postponed for the second time in 24 hours.

The match had originally been due to take place on Friday evening, but heavy snow in Belfast forced the match to be cancelled.

It had been hoped that the fixture could have been played on Saturday afternoon, but ice on the Windsor Park pitch put paid to any efforts to get the game on.

The match is expected to rescheduled for the summer.
