SATURDAY'S rematch of last season's Principality Premiership grand final between champions Ebbw Vale and Pontypridd has been postponed.
Ponty are swapping grass for an artificial surface at their Sardis Road home and the new pitch is not yet ready.
Unlike past seasons the clubs are unable to trade fixtures to play at Eugene Cross Park as the new January split means that teams are no longer playing each other home and away.
A new date has yet to be arranged meaning that the Steelmen, who lost at Llanelli on Sunday, must wait until hosting Newport on Saturday, September 17 to get the defence of their title up and running.
