H&B, who occupy second place in Kent One, were set to welcome rock-bottom Foots Cray, but weeks of heavy rainfall finally took their toll on the ARK William Parker Academy pitch, leaving it unplayable.

Eighth-placed Rye’s game away to foot of the table Haywards Heath II was one of three in Sussex One postponed because of a waterlogged pitch. Three matches did go ahead.
