Colts travel in vain

There was further dissapointment for the Colts who made the journey to Easthouses only for the game to be called off. There was no chance of the match passing the pitch inspection and a bit of common-sense from the hosts and a mid-morning call would have been welcomed. To arrive at the venue, only to be told that the park had only a 50/50 chance of being playable, was an indication that there was an issue. After walking the park with the match official, an experienced eye would have made your mind up in 30 seconds. Given the additional travel costs of private cars and mini-bus fuel, not to mention the anger of the Colts squad at the huge inconvenience caused, it was a wasted Saturday to say the least.
