Extension to club closures

Safeguarding the health of our athletes, volunteers, staff , supporters and indeed all our stakeholders continues to be our priority.

As the coronavirus outbreak continues to evolve, we are mindful of the advice of Government and our Public Health Authorities. We noted the recent Government announcements, north and south, where further measures were introduced to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

So, after careful assessment and with due concern and caution, we have decided to cancel all competitions, leagues and other activities that may have been scheduled to take place between now and 30th June 2020.

Similarly, we expect that club activities will continue to be on hold during and until the end of June. This supersedes a previous request to cease activities up until the Easter break.

We will keep the advice received from both governments under constant review and should circumstances improve substantially before 30th of June, we will update our recommendations accordingly.

In the mean time we wish that you stay safe and have compiled a list of links on our webpage here from the relevant governing bodies.

Please do stay in touch with us on our social media channels.
