PATRICK Hoban will have to wait a little longer for his first game in an Oxford United after heavy rain forced Thame United to cancel tonight's friendly.

The Irish striker was set to start for the U's development side following an ankle injury, but bad weather left the playing surface at the ASM Stadium waterlogged.

Thame were left with little option but to call off the game at 4pm.
