Three points from their game at Northampton have helped Colchester pull away from the League One relegation area.

Next Saturday Hereford United visit Colchester who are now 16th.

In the other League One game this afternoon Walsall defeated Swindon.

Northampton 1 Colchester 2
Walsall 2 Swindon 1

Bottom of League One:

Meanwhile in the FA Cup local rivals Cheltenham Town will have to play their game at Morecambe again. Foggy conditions meant it was called off during the second spell.
