Rochford have been forced to pull out of their scheduled Intermediate Cup third-round clash at Shelford tomorrow.

The burgeoning injury list and other unavailabilites has resulted in insufficent registered players available at the London Three North-east club, includinga front row.

That leaves Thurrock, who host high-flying London Two rivals Bishop's Stortford, as the only local representative left in the national cup competition.

Elsewhere it is training weekends for Southend and Basildon as they take a break from their league campaigns.
