THE postponed friendly between Witney United and Championship side Queens Park Rangers has been re-arranged and will now be played on Monday April 30.

The original game was postponed due to QPR's FA Cup replay at Luton Town being postponed but the game was swiftly rearranged with a new date for nearer the end of the season.

QPR assistant manager and ex-Witney Town man Richard Hill offered his apologies to any Witney fans over the change of date.

"It was totally out of our hands. We had actually got to Luton before the game was postponed so we also had a frustrating evening. However I made a promise to bring the first team to Witney and I won't go back on that.

Although the date is some way off it will be a very strong side that I will bring to Witney on the night.

"It would have been really easy to send a youth or a reserve side down and just fulfil the fixture but the deal was I would bring the first team down so in April that's what we will do."

Witney have announced that all tickets purchased for the original date will be valid for the rearranged game and that tickets are now back on sale for the new date.
