Storm Darragh has battered the UK, with the Merseyside Derby between Everton and Liverpool one of a number of sporting events cancelled on Saturday.

The Met Office have issued a red warning ahead of the storm as it touches down.

Met Office Chief Forecaster, Jason Kelly, said: “The worst impacts from Storm Darragh will be felt as we go through the early hours of tomorrow morning and throughout Saturday with, in addition to the broad yellow warning, red and amber wind warnings in place from 1 am tomorrow.

“In the red warning area, we could see wind gusts of up to 90 miles per hour along the coasts of west and south Wales as well as funnelling through the Bristol Channel, with some very large waves on exposed beaches.

“Although there is a lower likelihood of impacts outside of the red and amber warning areas this doesn’t mean you won’t see them.

“Some areas are likely to have a relatively quiet start to Saturday, weather-wise, but winds will quickly increase from the west through the day”

And the storm has already wreaked havoc with sporting events up and down the country.

The Welsh FA confirmed that ALL football and rugby across the weekend has been postponed.

Meanwhile, a number of race meets have undergone ground inspections - with some being cancelled in the face of Storm Darragh.

More updates on a number of sporting events including the football and the races are expected as Storm Darragh continues to roll through the country.
