Furniss turns up the heat to full blast

Sadly as seems to regularly be the case in 2018, the wintry conditions once again attempted to spoil the fun in the County Senior League.

The game will now be starged on April 5.

Then at the weekend all but three fixtures were postponed due to frozen pitches.
