Hello and welcome to an expanded preview of the fixtures that take place over the entire festive period in the Essex Olympian League this Christmas & New Year (over the next three Saturdays). Fixtures are subject to postponement/alteration. Fixtures are listed in date order (firstly for Sat 21 Dec, then 28 Dec & so on)
It was also announced on social media this week that Old Southendian’s new 3G pitch at Garon Park will open for their match with Kelvedon Hatch on 21 December, which marks an exciting time for the club and manager Connor Lane.
Also, for the first time on local Non-League radio programme Grassroots Football Show, a whole episode was dedicated to the EOFL divisions at this ‘halfway’ point with guests from Chingford Athletic & Corinthians this week, you can hear that here: https://www.mixcloud.com/EastLondonRadio/grassroots-football-show-essex-olympian-league-half-season-review-christmas-special/
