THE ONLY WAY TO GO IS ESSEX

DON'T forget your passport on Non-League Day! The Essex Senior League are offering a Groundhop Weekend with a difference and secretary Michelle Dorling hopes it will be a fitting showcase.

For £30, fans can watch up to four games on March 21 and March 22 Non-League Day itself - across the Step 5 division.

Kicking off with either West Essex v Barking or Woodford Town v Ilford on Friday night, a 12pm clash between Benfleet and FC Clacton gets Saturday up and running.

There is then a choice of five 3pm games or a 3.30pm kick off at Little Oakley, who welcome Stanway Rovers.

And an action-packed hop ends on Saturday evening when Takeley host Saffron Walden Town for a 7.45pm start and the chance for a picture with the Premier League trophy.

As well as a special combined programme for the whole event, passport holders will receive a free-bie at each ground they visit.

"It's a Groundhop with a twist," Dorling told
