The original meeting between United and South Park ended 1-1 at The Pilot Field on Saturday. Frannie Collin gave United a half time lead, but Reigate-based South Park equalised after the break and survived the final half-an-hour with 10 men.
United's scheduled league fixture away to Hythe Town tomorrow has been postponed to make way for both clubs' FA Trophy commitments. That match has been rearranged for Tuesday January 24.
