Heavy snowfalls across Britain have wreaked havoc with the sporting programme, forcing several fixtures to be cancelled over the past 24 hours.

The FA Cup fourth-round replay between Arsenal and Cardiff City, which was due to take place tonight, was the highest-profile game to be postponed, with the London club deciding yesterday to call off the match at the Emirates Stadium. The tie will now be played on Saturday, February 14, the weekend of the fifth-round matches.

Several other matches also fell victim to the weather, including last night's League Two match between Bradford and Darlington, and tonight's Championship fixtures between Crystal Palace and Birmingham, and QPR and Swansea. Several of tomorrow's games in League One and League Two games have also been postponed.

In Scotland, Inverurie Locos' Scottish Cup tie at home to Motherwell went ahead last night, having been postponed four times previously. The Highland League club won 3-0 in front of a 2,500 crowd.

In racing, Tony McCoy's hopes of riding his 3,000th winner over jumps were again put on hold once yesterday afternoon's meeting at Southwell was abandoned.

McCoy has ridden 2,998 winners in his career but has been continually frustrated by abandonments over the past week. He had been due to ride three times at Southwell.

Today's meeting at Market Rasen, where McCoy had also been scheduled to ride, has been abandoned too, as were yesterday's meetings at Lingfield and Wolverhampton.
