CHIPPENHAM Town now face playing three games in five days if they are to win promotion from the Southern League Premier Division after last night's play-off game at Halesowen was abandoned because of a waterlogged pitch.
The referee called a halt to last night's game after 32 minutes, with the Bluebirds leading 3-2.
The match has now been hastily rearranged for tomorrow night.

Aaron Cornwall put Chippenbham ahead in the first minute, but Dean Brennan brought the scores level from the penalty spot after five minutes after Kye Holly had been penalised for handball.
Halesowen went ahead in the 14th minute when Eldon Maquemba netted the rebound after Andy Hall's shot hit the post.
Ross Adams equalised five minutes later, with a header from Holly's free kick and David Pratt scored the third midway through the first half before the referee halted proceedings.
