Clitheroe were due to meet the Merseyside club in the Integro League Cup on Tuesday, 17 September and then go to Marine again for a league fixture on Saturday, 21 September.

However, both games have been postponed due to Marine’s involvement in the FA Cup, with the Mariners drawn to face Tyneside outfit and North-West Division rivals Dunston in the second qualifying round on Saturday-week.

The BetVictor League has agreed to allow clubs still involved in the FA Cup to have a free mid-week ahead of their next tie to aid their preparations and chances of going through.

Dates for the re-arranged fixtures will be released in due course.

The Blues will now play City of Liverpool away from home on Saturday, 21 September in a league fixture moved from 9 November.
