TODAY'S Thurlow Nunn League derby between Wivenhoe Town and FC Clacton has been postponed, following an 8.30am inspection.
The sides had been due to meet in a premier division contest at the GMP Plant Hire Stadium at 3pm.
However, following a deluge of overnight rain, which is still falling this morning, the pitch is badly waterlogged.
It was therefore a straightforward decision to call the game off.
Also off is the premier division match between Coggeshall Town and Haverhill Borough and the first division fixtures between Holland FC and Whitton United, Norwich United Reserves and Little Oakley and Cornard United and Halstead Town.
Braintree Town Reserves against Team Bury was called off on Sunday.
Over in the Bostik League, the division north derby between Maldon and Tiptree and Witham Town has been washed out, as has the match between Bowers and Pitsea and Heybridge Swifts.
The Essex and Suffolk Border League premier division derby between Harwich and Parkeston and Oakley's reserves has also been postponed, due to the soggy state of the Royal Oak pitch.
