    Top-flight soccer across Europe has ground to a halt as a result of the virus, with national and continental club competitions suspended or postponed.
    But in south London life on Saturday (March 14) went on as normal as National League South side Dulwich Hamlet hosted rivals Hemel Hempstead, Dulwich winning 2-1.
