THE Isthmian Football league has confirmed that its league programme will remain suspended until at least 4 April - and probably beyond that.

Thurrock area clubs affected are East Thurrock United, Aveley, Grays Athletic and Tilbury.

A statement from the league says: "The Isthmian League Board agree that all matches, including the Development League, the Youth League and Cup, The Women's Cup and the Velocity Trophy be suspended until that date.

"The likelihood is that matches will not start again on 4 April, and in the meantime the League will work with all others in the game to ensure that clubs are kept up to date with the latest information.

"It cannot be stressed too much that these are unprecedented times. The Board will do what it can to ensure that football can recommence as soon as possible, and that the League does not put more pressure on clubs financially while the future is unknown."
