Ground Hop Opener Falls Foul of Weather
27th March, 2013
The Baris Northern Counties East(er) League Hop will now start on Friday after tomorrow's planned opener fell victim to the bad weather.
AFC Emley's ground, which is the third highest in the country, is still almost knee deep in snow so the Division One game with Bottesford Town has had to be postponed.
It is hoped that the other games in the hop, organised by Groundhop UK, will go ahead with clubs working very hard to make sure matches can go ahead.
The schedule is as follows:
THURSDAY 28TH MARCH, 2013
BARIS NCEL DIVISION ONE
AFC Emley P-P Bottesford Town
FRIDAY 29TH MARCH, 2013
BARIS NCEL PREMIER DIVISION
