CWMBRAN Town have re-arranged tomorrow night's League of Wales clash at Aberystwyth as a mark of respect following the terrorist attack in America.
The game has been put back a day and will now take place 24-hours later at 2.30pm on Saturday afternoon.
LoW bosses contacted all clubs this morning and told them to postpone all fixtures scheduled for tomorrow - which has been designated as an official day of mourning for the American dead.
"We agree absolutely with the League of Wales' decision to postpone the game," said a spokesman for Cwmbran Town.
"Following a directive received from the league's governing body this morning the club chairman spoke to Aberystwyth straight away.
"They were only too happy to put the game back by 24-hours. At a time like this both clubs felt that it was the only right and proper thing to do."
League Secretary John Deakin is sure it is the right course of action following UEFA's decision to cancel this week's remaining Champions League and UEFA Cup matches.
"The European Union have declared tomorrow as a day of mourning," said Deakin.
"The Football Association of Wales have decided therefore that it is only right and proper that no matches under its jurisdiction should take place on that day. And at all games scheduled for Saturday there will be a minute's silence prior to kick-off."
Meanwhile, UEFA may compensate clubs who had already travelled for European matches before they were postponed, but there will be no system to reimburse fans. They will have talks with clubs who have incurred travelling costs, but say fans wanting compensation must approach the clubs they support.
In golf, Colin Montgomerie today called for sport not to give in to terrorism by cancelling the Ryder Cup.
The American Express World Golf Championship was cancelled in St Louis yesterday as a mark of respect.
And it is feared the Ryder Cup could suffer the same fate, with American players concerned about flying to England.
