Everton Under-23s' Bamber Bridge Clash OFF

Everton Under-23s' meeting with Northern Premier League side Bamber Bridge on Wednesday night has been cancelled.

David Unsworth's team, who have won successive friendly matches against Chorley and Rhyl in the past eight days, will renew their pre-season campaign against Wigan Athletic's Under-23s on Saturday.

Bamber Bridge were forced to postpone today's contest due to forecast heavy rain, with the club's Sir Tom Finney Stadium pitch already soaked following recent wet weather.

Manager Unsworth's double-winning Under-23s launch their Premier League 2 title defence against Leicester City at Southport on Monday 12 August.
