The FAW Cup semi final between Swansea and Barry was postponed tonight.

The winners will play Cardiff City in the final.

It's hoped the game will now be played next Tuesday, March 26th but that means Barry changing a LoW game against Llanelli.

The Barry manager Kenny Brown was not happy

"In the League of Wales we play week-in, week-out in 10 times worse conditions. I was flabbergasted it was called off. There is a little surface water on the pitch, but I don't think it is sticking anywhere. The players want to play and were disappointed at the decision."

The referee though said

"One more downpour and I didn't think we could have finished the game. The rain came down steadily two hours before the start and there was standing water over the pitch."
