The Wessex Football League has been given permission to extend the season by the FA.

It comes after bad weather meant 13 matches had to be postponed in both the Premier Division and Division One on Tuesday night (April 11). 

This included Bemerton Heath Harlequin's trip to Horndean, and Laverstock & Ford had been due to host Alresford Town, both in the Premier Division. 

In a statement released on Twitter, the League clarified that the approval meant all games involving promotion and relegation can be played until April 25 with the play off game occurring Saturday, April 29. 

However Premier Division Clubs not involved in promotion or relegation can play up until May 1 with Wessex League Division One not to play beyond the above date with the playoffs completed by May 8. 

Both Bemerton Heath Harlequins and Laverstock and Ford saw their matches postponed and are expected to announce new dates for the matches following the recent news soon.
