COUNTDOWN TO KICK-OFF: YOUR GUIDE TO SATURDAY'S PITCH INSPECTIONS

Throughout the morning we at www.kentishfootball.co.uk will do our level best to keep you as updated as we can on all of this morning's pitch inspections.

Of the 26 games scheduled for Saturday afternoon, the Bulmers Cider Kent League game between Corinthian and Hythe Town was the first to go on Friday, due to a waterlogged pitch at Gay Dawn Farm.

We have listed out below the inspection times that we know about and we'll update the result of these inspections as soon as we can.

All of the inspections listed are likely to be done by qualified local officials rather than the match referee (although in some cases it may be the match referee inspecting).

It must therefore be mentioned that if a pitch does pass the inspection stated it is the match referee decision that will be final, upon his arrival at the ground, normally at half-past-one.

To assist us with this service, clubs are asked to contact us on 07979 418 360 (please do NOT email) the outcomes of their pitch inspections.
