KoolSport NCEL Division One highflyers Tadcaster Albion's ground has once again been hit by floods.

Their Ings Lane ground is situated right next to the Wharfe and, over the years, has suffered badly when the river bursts its banks.

The recent high level of rainfall has meant that it has happened again with latest reports saying that the water on the pitch is over a metre deep and close to getting into the clubhouse.

It is already putting into doubt Saturday's big league clash with fellow promotion rivals, Leeds Carnegie.

Ironically, the reverse fixture that was due to be played last night was called off due to a waterlogged pitch at Farsley Celtic.

The flooding is a blow to a Tadcaster Albion side looking to get through 2009 without a problem.

It's after their home fixture schedule was disrupted for long spells twice last year, causing several thousands of pounds worth of damage.
