Update ~ Hopeful of a Return to Team Sports From 2nd December

Hi all

Please see a brief statement from the Rugby Football Union regarding a return to rugby .

Check Out this Video below for more information.

RFU ANNOUNCEMENT - Steve Grainger

Exmouth Rugby will update and confirm next steps for our Cockles Club, when the UK Government and RFU advise conditions to return. This will be based on a number of factors including Tier system in England. We do not expect a final decision from the RFU until after weekend 28th/29th November.

Thank you for your continued patience.

RFU - Return to TEAM SPORTS
We welcome Monday’s announcement from Government that grassroots sport will be able to resume from Wednesday 2 December and that spectators at non-elite sports will be able to attend events in line with Covid-secure guidance for each tier.

Tier levels for each region are due to be announced by Government later this week.

As you can imagine, there are a number of details which we need to confirm with Government regarding restrictions that apply to each tier, including permitted levels of contact, travel and implications for club facilities.

We will, therefore, provide a further game update when this information has been received and we are in a position to confirm which stage clubs will be able to return to on the Return to Community Rugby Roadmap.

We expect an update from Government soon, prior to the Wednesday 2 December recommencement, in response to our Return to Play proposals. Concerns remain around the close contact involved in scrums and mauls and we remain in discussion about how to mitigate this to be able to get the game played again.

RFU November 2020.
