Second Eastbourne Borough game called off over Covid

The Sports had already postponed the home National South game against Maidstone - due to be played on Monday - after the positive test was revealed.

Now Saturday's trip along the south coast to face Havant and Waterlooville has also been scratched.

It was expected, in line with the ten-day period in which those who have come into contact with a person who has had a positive test have to isolate.

More than half of Monday's National South fixtures were postponed, and only two of the games on Boxing Day survived.

Danny Bloor will hope he can get his team back in league action on January 9, when they are due to host Billericay. Borough are sixth in the National South, having won five and drawn five of their 13 games so far.
