The postponement comes after the RFU gave clubs below the top levels in the English club game the chance to call off games if they felt it was prudent.

A CRFC statement said: "The 1st XV game against Horsham and the 2nd XV game against Bognor have been postponed and will be rescheduled."

They're among a growing number of sporting fixtures across the country called off this weekend - a number of which have gone because clubs are experiencing high numbers of players and officials having tested positive for Covid or being close contacts of people who have.
