First NCEL game of season called off

Toolstation NCEL Division One 

The Toolstation Northern Counties East League

Swallownest’s clash at Shirebrook Town is the first game to fall this season for covid-19 precautions.

The match was scheduled for Saturday but has been postponed.

It is the first warning shot for the league that it could be in for a bumpy ride if they want to complete the season for the first time since 2019.

There has to be real hope that Shirebrook will still be able to host a fixture.

There are 21 clubs in Division One anyway so one team in theory is always available.

But this weekend four clubs are without a game due to the FA Cup and ground unavailability reasons.

Hallam, Glasshoughton Welfare, Worsbrough Bridge and FC Humber United are not in action currently.
