Westcliff Hard have claimed the Essex over-60 men's league title after their last match was drawn due to the weather.

The deciding match against Buckhurst Hill was called off because of the storms, meaning Hard had enough points to claim Division One.

The weather also played havoc elsewhere, with the Jubilee Cup and winter leagues both getting an extension to the forthcoming weekend.

Southend and District League Championship Secretary Steve Wynn declared the extension after play proved impossible at the weekend.

Of those that did see action, Westcliff Lawn pulled off a fine 4-0 win against Theydon Bois in Essex Veterans League Division One.
