3/8/19 Essex Senior League round-up

Walthamstow, Woodford Town and Hadley's thrashings of their respective opposition were the highlights of the action during the opening round of fixtures in the ESL.

Walthamstow hammered Tower Hamlets 7-0 at Wadham Lodge and you can find WDSportz's match report here: walthamstow-7-0-tower-hamlets-stow-breeze-past-opposition.html

Elsewhere, Woodford Town inflicted an 8-0 defeat on Sawbridgeworth Town at Crofters End and Hadley beat Enfield 5-0.

Dissapointingly, Clapton vs Hoddesdon Town was postponed on Friday with little reason given beyond Calpton's Old Spotted Dog Ground  being unavaialable.

So, no opening league game for us on Saturday as @ClaptonFootball call the game off for reasons so far unknown. Open to suggestions for what we should all do this weekend. Round of golf? Watch @HoddyCCOfficial? Go and watch @toystory 4? pic.twitter.com/V93ITMX4GZ
