Both Clacton Hockey Club and Clacton Rugby Club were left without fixtures last weekend because of the Arctic blast.

Carl Parkes’ high-flying NE14Hockey East Men’s League division three south-east side had been due to visit Upminster.

However, the match was postponed because of a frozen playing surface.

It means the Seasiders now switch their attention to Saturday’s big match at top-of-the-table Chelmsford seconds.

Clacton are third, just two points behind second-placed Southend.

Clacton Rugby Club should have travelled to Buckhurst Hill for an Essex League division one fixture against Bancroft.

However, the match was postponed at 11am on Saturday.
