As you can see from the current table the top of the table clash at Roding Lane on Saturday was eagerly anticipated by many fans. 

However, Ipswich Wanderers have released the following statement via social media today "Unfortunately due to a recent Covid outbreak at the club on top of a lengthy injury list, all of which has been evidenced to the League, Saturday's match has been postponed."

Buckhurst Hill Club Chairman Simon Cornwell issued the following statement "It is with huge disappointment that the biggest game in the history of Buckhurst Hill Football Club has been postponed on Saturday, April 2, at Roding Lane. Any tickets purchased online will be refunded in full or can be used when a new date as been confirmed shortly. On behalf of all the Buckhurst Hill Family we can only apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused .This was not a decision made by the Football Club or had any consultation in the decision made. Further statements to follow."

The Suffolk side's only defeat in the league this season came back on August 31st when Wivenhoe Town won 1-2 at Humber Doucy Lane. Buckhurst Hill's only defeat came back on September 4th when Hackney Wick won 1-0 at Spa Road. 

When the two sides met in October it finished 0-0 in front of 119 people - I'm sure the crowd when the game does go ahead at Roding Lane will be substantially bigger. The Cold End wishes all the players at Wanderers affected by Covid the best and hope they get better soon. They have won their last 19 league games in a row scoring 74 goals and letting in just 9.
