It's snow joke! – 'Beast from the East' plays havoc with UK sporting calendar

Snow is cleared away by a tractor

The so-called ‘Beast from the East’ has caused travel havoc across Great Britain, and the heavy snowfall has also affected this weekend’s sporting calendar.

It has been, ahem, snow joke for commuters across Britain who have been left stranded in cars, at train stations and airports as the disruptive wintry weather crept into the first day of March – which marks the meteorological start of spring in the UK.

And the sporting calendar has also succumbed to ‘The Beast’, not least in the Super League where four of this weekend’s round of fixtures have been postponed, including Thursday’s contest between Hull KR and Castleford Tigers.

Friday’s games between Wakefield Trinity and Huddersfield Giants, champions Leeds Rhinos and Catalans Dragons, and St Helens versus Salford Red Devils will also be played on different dates.

Rugby union’s Pro14 has not escaped the disruption, with Cardiff Blues’ contest with Bennetton Treviso and Edinburgh’s fixture against Munster at Murrayfield – both scheduled for Friday – biting the dust, as well as Scarlets v Leinster on Saturday.

Zebre’s match against Ospreys was also cancelled after it was determined the visitors may struggle to make their flight from Cardiff to Parma.

The latest round of the Premier League darts, which was set to take place in Exeter, was also postponed due to a red weather warning in the region – the highest level in the UK.

The British Horseracing Authority confirmed there would be no turf racing until at least Sunday, while the all-weather tracks at Newcastle and Kempton have not lived up to their name.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger may have hoped for more time to prepare for a Manchester City side that outclassed the Gunners at Wembley in Sunday’s EFL Cup final, but – as things stand – Thursday’s match at Emirates Stadium is going ahead.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
