Boxing Day preview

Hornchurch return to Conference South action with a home game against Welling this afternoon (1pm).

But Romford were again left frustrated as their Ryman Division One North clash with Tilbury fell victim to a waterlogged pitch.

Urchins go into their match in 12th place on the back of a 3-0 win over Basingstoke, having seen their trip to Dover called off at the weekend.

But Boro’s Ship Lane base failed a 10am inspection, after their weekend trip to Wroxham was also wiped out.

And Paul Martinn’s men, beaten 1-0 at Witham in their last outing on December 15, now face an extended break, with their next scheduled fixture not until January 2, when they travel to their former home at Rush Green to take on Grays.
