The game was 0-0 after nine minutes when the referee called both sets of players off the pitch before the game was abandoned

Cambridge's game with Bolton was abandoned after only nine minutes of play due to a waterlogged pitch.

Play was stopped while still 0-0, with referee David Rock taking the players off the pitch after consulting both head coaches.

After a delay of 16 minutes it was announced at 8.10pm that the decision had been taken for the game to be called off.

The only opening in the nine minutes that were played came for Cambridge, but Sullay Kaikai failed to connect with a volley when the ball fell to him centrally.

The U's will hope conditions at the Abbey Stadium improve in time for them to host Cheltenham on Saturday.
