Northern Ireland Football League chiefs will meet later with representatives of both Ballymena and Cliftonville to fix another date for their postponed Bet McLean semi-final game.

The match was due to be played last night at the Showgrounds.

After an early afternoon pitch inspection the game was given the go-ahead – but then was called off later due to a frozen pitch.

It’s the third time the tie has been cancelled.

The final, which will feature Dungannon Swifts, has been scheduled for Saturday, February 17
