Coronavirus: Isthmian League postpones this week's fixtures
A statement from Isthmian Football League chairman Nick Robinson read: "The safety and well-being of all those associated with the league - our players, volunteers, club officials, match officials and supporters - is our number one priority, and we are closely monitoring the situation and carefully following advice from Public Health England.
"The board has decided that as an immediate step matches scheduled for tomorrow and next midweek will be postponed and we will review the situation daily as to when fixtures can recommence.

"We hope that by taking this step we can delay the spread of the virus and we earnestly hope that with the right approach there will be as few persons as possible suffering either directly or indirectly.
"We look forward to the resumption of the fixtures as soon as possible."
