Community Game Update
Return to competitive play in 2020/21 season delayed to January 2021 earliest
In the RFU's update on 24th September they announced that 'no organised RFU or non-RFU Leagues including merit tables, adult or age grade competitions will be played before January 2021 at the earliest.'
They added:
'With the increased uncertainly caused by Government’s additional restrictions to curb the increase in Covid-19 cases across the country, the decision has been made so that we can provide clubs with some certainty over the next few months.
The rugby community can continue to organise non-contact fixtures with other clubs using Ready4Rugby and other touch rugby activity. Limited and restricted contact rugby training can also be continued.
The RFU continues to be in active dialogue with government about moving to Stage E on the Roadmapshould we reach this point at any time before Christmas, competitive friendly matches could commence. '
