The score in the game, being played at Gloucester City's Meadow Park ground because of the condition of the pitch at Truro's temporary home at Taunton Town, was 0-0 when it was abandoned.

No decision on whether it will be replayed has yet been taken.

Due to a series of postponements for Truro over the winter, the Cornish side still have 13 games to play between now and the scheduled end of the season on 20 April.
