Ex-Hawks ace Prior nets 12th league goal

Ebbsfleet’s game at Slough was the second of three matches the

Kent club have called off due to a number of positive tests.

Welling’s game at Braintree was also off after positive tests in the Wings camp - one of four successive league games they have been forced to postpone.

In addition, Dulwich’s home game with St Albans was called off due to an issue with the floodlights at Champion Hill.

The Wessex League restarts after lockdown this Saturday with two league games and other member clubs, including Fareham, in FA Vase action.

Thirty six of the 39 Wessex clubs across the two divisions are currently placed under tier 2 restrictions.

That will limit the sale of food and drink at those grounds while the three Isle of Wight-based teams - Cowes Sport, Newport IOW and East Cowes Victoria - are in tier 1.

Clubs within the Wessex League under tier two restrictions should liaise with their local authority over the sale of refreshments on match-days.

Fareham and AFC Portchester return to Wessex action next

Tuesday, with Baffins welcoming Horndean in the delayed 2019/20 Portsmouth Senior Cup the following evening.
