Weather decimates Sunday Ligue 1 schedule

The Ligue 1 afternoon games
scheduled for Sunday have been postponed because of bad weather,
the French League said.
Snow fell overnight in Normandy, forcing the LFP to cancel
the game between Caen and AJ Auxerre.
The other game scheduled at 16:00 GMT, Sochaux v Lille, was
also cancelled because of a frozen pitch.
"Ninety percent of the field was OKbut there was a 15 x 2
metre strip that was dangerous," Sochaux's Damien Perquis told
French TV channel Foot Plus.
On Saturday, Saint-Etienne's match against Lorient was
abandoned after 10 minutes because of a frozen pitch at Geoffroy
Guichard.
New dates for these three games have yet to be set.
