SWANAGE Town & Herston's season opener has been postponed after one of their players tested positive for COVID-19.
Swans were due to begin their Dorset Premier League campaign against Shaftesbury Town reserves this afternoon, but the game will now be played at a later date.
An unnamed player returned a positive COVID test, having begun feeling unwell on Wednesday.
Swanage have confirmed the player featured for the club in a pre-season friendly against Corfe Castle at Day's Park the previous evening.
As a result, Corfe Castle's match against Balti Sports, also in Dorset Premier League, has also been postponed.
Instead, Balti Sports will host Shaftesbury Town reserves today.
