Hartley Wintney FC (HWFC), which plays in the Isthmian League, warned supporters that it may not be able to hold its home fixtures as part of the tournament. A spokesman said repeated heatwaves, drought and sharply reduced water pressure had made it a ‘major challenge to complete pitch works.’ The club is due to host Hendon on September 12, but the league said the games ‘cannot be rearranged to a more suitable date.’ The drought has also hit the club’s finances after it was forced to move pre-season friendlies to neutral venues. The club said: "We will advise everyone as soon as we have answers and the necessary league approvals for these games."
