MATCHES involving West Fife teams in the East of Scotland League this afternoon have been postponed.
Heavy rainfall has caused games involving Crossgates Primrose, Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts and Oakley United to be called off, the clubs have announced.
Primrose had been due to host Haddington Athletic in the Premier Division, with Swifts visiting Sauchie, whilst First Division Oakley had been set to welcome Whitburn.
