Disappointing news from the Pixmore Playing Fields:

Letchworth Garden City Eagles - Unfortunately our pitch has failed an inspection today meaning the Quarter Final vs New Bradwell St Peter has had to be postponed again. We hope to get the pitch to a playable state as soon as possible. Apologies and we hope to see you soon.

It's likely to be a bridge too far for New Bradwell St Peter this evening isn't it, £3.00 entry for a SSML Challenge Trophy Semi Final has to be applauded:
