The RFU issued further guidance on the 2nd June regarding a phased return to sport and recreation following updated advice from the Government on Sunday 31st May.   The RFU have issued their “Return to Rugby Roadmap” for Community Rugby which sets out a step by step approach to a phased re-opening for community-based clubs.

This, of course, is welcome news to us all, we know that everyone is keen to resume as soon as possible, given the abrupt end to our 2019/2020 season!  However, we must all still be mindful that we can only take these steps when we, as a Club, are confident that it is safe to do so.

From mid-June, we will be offering our out of season Return to Rugby Fitness Training to some teams.  Each coach will assess the process to ensure that their team can operate safely, but we have to be mindful of how many teams we can accommodate given the restriction of space available and ensure that the senior teams can also take part.  We know everyone is keen to return to rugby as soon as possible, but we would ask everyone for their patience, you can be assured that we will do everything we can, whilst maintaining the highest safety levels.
