RFU Suspends All Rugby | Club Statement

We appreciate your patience and support in these difficult times.

Taken from the RFU Website:

Rugby activity includes club training, league and cup matches plus rugby education courses from 17 March until 14 April subject to continued review.

The decision has been taken following government advice in the interests of players, coaches, referees, volunteers, supporters and the wider rugby union community.

Where possible, players at all levels are encouraged to maintain their own personal fitness and keep active during this time, while following government guidelines about safe distance and safe exercise environments.

The RFU will continue to review and monitor government advice and will provide detailed updates on the impact to the season in the coming weeks.

Club Statement:

In light of the Government’s briefing on Monday 16  ^thMarch and the subsequent RFU announcement, Sale FC will be suspending all rugby activities immediately.

This means that there will be no 1  ^st XV, Ladies, Colts or M&J’s games or training prior to  the 14  ^th April (subject to continued review).

Unfortunately, this also means that tours organised by the U9s-U15s will be postponed until further notice. Please also note that our annual Ladies Day planned for  the 28  ^thMarch will be rearranged for a later date (ticket holders will be contacted regarding refunds).

I am sure you will appreciate that like other businesses, this will be a testing time for our club. However, the Executive and Management Team will continue to work hard to minimise the negative impact on the club. Please note that at this time we will continue to be open and operating day to day, however, we kindly ask that if you have business with the club that you contact us via telephone or email in the first instance.

As a club, we do appreciate that this is a worrying time for members and we urge you to continue to follow the government guidelines.

We will continue to keep you updated via our club newsletter and social media.

Think Danny B sums it up for all of us here at the club. We look forward to seeing you in April!
