Teams in Essex, Devon, London, Gateshead and Berkshire are among those that have been affected.

After initially passing a pitch inspection this morning, Dunston’s Northern Premier League clash with Belper Town was called off just an hour before it was due to start – leaving fans furious.

One Belper Town supporter revealed that he had travelled for three hours, only for the match to be postponed at late notice.

Myrak Park, home of Buckhurst Hill FC, has been completely flooded, so much so that the only visible parts of the pitch are the goalposts.

Other sports have also been affected.

Huntingdon racecourse was left submerged, causing major concern.

Worcestershire Cricket Club’s New Road ground was also hit by flash floods.

The 5,500-seater arena is one of the oldest in the country, having been built in 1896.
