Salisbury's trip to Chesham called off due to a waterlogged pitch

Salisbury were due to make the familiar trip to Buckinghamshire to face Chesham United this evening in the Vanarama National League South, but the game has been called off because of a waterlogged pitch.

Following a huge amount of rainfall over the weekend and the continued rain on Monday, the pitch was deemed unplayable by a local referee. 

Chesham United said in a statement, "An early decision was made with the pitch currently waterlogged and unplayable with no prospect of the required improvement with additional rain expected over the next 24 hours. A new date for the fixture will be announced in due course."

That means Salisbury's next fixture will now be the trip to Hornchurch on Saturday - kick off is at 3pm with full match commentary on Salisbury Radio Sport.
