The Somerset side led 2-0 in the first half before Louis Collins appeared to get a slight touch on a Leone Gravata cross to divert it past the Town keeper to make it 2-1 at the break. But the fog closed in and got worse – and after the officials extended the interval to see if it would clear, they had to admit defeat and abandon it.
You had to feel sorry for all concerned – especially the Taunton fans who’d made the long journey for nothing.
