Devizes RFC

Sorry to say that all rugby actvity at Devizes RFC, both Junior and Senior, must cease with immediate effect, and there will be no change to this until further notice. This is because we find ourselves in a national Tier 5 lockdown - this is what the RFU have to say:

"Following Government’s national lockdown announcement to counter the steep rise in Covid-19 infections, all community rugby activity in England is suspended until further notice. In line with current Government policy, all adult and age grade rugby training and fixtures must stop. This means we return to Stage A on the Return to Community Rugby Roadmap for all players."

In terms of competitive Senior rugby, they also have the following news:

"Due to the additional restrictions announced yesterday to combat the spread of Covid-19, the RFU has regretfully decided to cancel both the adult male & female Cluster Fixtures (for teams that play in RFU Leagues). The focus will now switch to the following;
• Facilitating fixtures through local organising committees as and when conditions allow a return to playing rugby, which could extend into the summer months.
• Ensuring any extension does not encroach on the 2021/22 season start date.
Any further announcements will be made following the next Government review. In the meantime, your local organising committee will be in touch with specific information for your region."

So let's get through this, and then have some fun towards the end of the season. Let's also start to build into next season: more on that from Joe and the coaches in coming weeks. In the meantime the Juniors might like to take a look at these RFU webinars:
