Wintry conditions continue to disrupt the England Hockey League programme with all today's Women's Premier Division matches being postponed. Things do not look promising either for the Men's Premier, with only the matches between Surbiton and Reading, and East Grinstead and Canterbury, still due to be played tomorrow.
The damage to the league programme caused by a second week of postponements has been mitigated by the fact that the Conferences started their break after last weekend's matches. The England Hockey League now goes into the Christmas/New year period with no games due to be played until 5 February 2011, save for a handful of re-arranged matches.
With the promise that freezing conditions could return during next week, the spotlight now turns on the indoor league which are due to start next Saturday. Last season saw massive disruption to the programme caused by snow and ice after Christmas.
