CHERRIES' clash at Hartlepool tomorrow is on after the Victoria Park pitch passed an inspection this lunchtime.

The home side had been concerned that parts of the pitch had frozen in the recent cold snap, but the match was given the go-ahead.

Lee Bradbury's squad is set to fly to the north east later today ahead of the game.

Bournemouth Poppies' FA Vase fifth round tie at nearby Billingham Synthonia, however, was postponed following a pitch inspection this morning and has been rearranged for Saturday, February 18.
