Club Statement on U17 & 19 leagues

The club learned last night of the reversal of the decision on the Under 17 and Under 19 National Leagues recommencing.

Following detailed internal discussions, the club has reluctantly made the decision that our Under 17 and Under 19 boys teams will not resume their seasons, however the girls Under 17s will return to action.

The club has reached this decision as the girls U17s have continued to train, while the boys teams have not. This has not been an easy decision, in a year fraught with difficulties, but we feel the decisions made are in the best interests of player welfare. It has now been over 12 months since some of the players started pre-season and we appreciate that this has taken a massive effort on the part of our players, their parents and the coaching staff. It has been a stop start season and the players have done tremendously well to keep themselves motivated and fit throughout.
