All the games that survived the weather this weekend in the League were played on Astroturf with four Clubs switching venues to enable matches to take place. Division Two East Sporting Club Woodham and Tillingham Hotspur took part in a closely fought encounter which was affected by the strong wind. Tillingham Hotspur took the lead on 18 minutes when the wind held the ball up on the edge of the area which meant the Sporting Club Woodham keeper couldn’t use his hands as he challenged for the ball. It broke to Scott Jones who rolled the ball into the net. Sporting Club Woodham equalised on the half hour when Aaron Smith finished at the far post. Picture is Ryan
