The A-League Men derby between Central Coast Mariners and the Newcastle Jets has been postponed because of torrential rain.

A new match date has yet to be confirmed.

The rainfall gathered intensity in the hour before kick-off at Central Coast Stadium and the pitch was covered in huge areas of water by the scheduled 5pm AEDT start.

Players left the field during the warm-up with lightning in the Gosford area.

The match was initially delayed for 30 minutes but with little hope of a start it was was called off at 5.45pm AEDT.

Both clubs had finalised their starting sides with Mariners coach Nick Montgomery springing a surprise with new Socceroo striker Jason Cummings named on the bench, as was another World Cup aspirant in Garang Kuol.
