Billericay Town boss Gary Calder has already resigned himself to the fact that his troops look almost certain to face inactivity tomorrow for the third time in four matches.

After the Boxing Day washout at Canvey, the New Lodge side did manage a home game last weekend when they drew 1-1 with Aylesbury.

But in common with all Ryman clubs, they were again left helpless by the weather with their home game with Boreham Wood being KO'd on New Year's Day.

With the atrocious wet weather that has caused so many problems in the South East showing no real signs of abating, tomorrow's visit to Hendon looks a virtual non-starter.

Calder said last night: "I spoke to Hendon earlier today and they told me that, even if we had completely dry weather from then until kick-off time, the chances of the game being on were 60-40 against."
