Football matches on Sandwell pitches will be cancelled this weekend due to bad weather.
Following inspection visits Sandwell Council confirms the pitches are already waterlogged.
With more rain expected over the coming days the condition of the pitches is likely to worsen.
A Sandwell Council spokesman said: "The decision has been taken to prevent the pitches from becoming churned up and unusable for future matches this season."
