Sutton United's away game at Ebbsfleet in the London and South East Regional Women's League was postponed amid controversy centred on the signing of a transgender goalkeeper.
The game, which had been scheduled to kick-off at 2pm, was called off after Sutton sent an email to their opponents at 11.12 am informing them of their inability to field a team.
The postponement came a week after Sutton boss Lucy Clark, who is the first transgender manager in the top five tiers of women's football in England signed 34-year-old transgender goalkeeper Blair Hamilton.
Hamilton. who previously played for the University of Aberdeen's men's football team while she was transitioning, before being encouraged to join the women's side - made her Sutton debut on August 25 in a 6-0 win over Haywards Heath Town.
