Sporting Bengal game switched to Oak

Sporting Bengal game switched to Oak

Andrew Schooler

With Mile End Stadium unavailable, Essex Senior League game on November 21 will now effectively be a 'home' match for the Shrimpers.

Harwich and Parkeston’s forthcoming Essex Senior League game with Sporting Bengal will now take place on the Gwinnell and Sons Royal Oak.
The match, on Saturday November 21, had been scheduled to be staged at Sporting’s home ground, Mile End Stadium in east London.
But the venue has been dogged by problems this season with several matches being moved to alternative venues.
With Sporting unable to find another ground to stage the game that afternoon, the match will move to the Oak (kick-off 3pm).
It will count as Sporting’s home fixture so they will be making two trips to Harwich this season – the second is currently scheduled for January 30.
The Shrimpers are currently due at the Mile End Stadium on December 19 to face SOUL Tower Hamlets, who also play there. If that game also has to be moved, the club will issue updates via this website and its social media channels.
The Under-23s’ game against AFC Pegasus, which had been due to take place at the Oak on November 21, will now be rearranged.
