With what should have been the final week of league games there’s no change in the government advice to stay home and stay safe. We’re still hopeful that we’ll be able to complete this season’s league and cup competitions at some point, but the great unknown is the period of lock-down.

Events definitely cancelled:

• Individuals Cup Round at Tiverton RFC on 15th April 2020
• Finals and Presentation of Trophies at Cullompton RFC on 6th May 2020

Very likely to be Postponed or Cancelled:

• 69th AGM at Cullompton RFC on 27th May 2020

We’ll look at an alternative way of signing-up teams for next season if the AGM doesn’t go ahead as originally planned.

Following the updated Government advice to avoid social contact and specifically to avoid pubs, clubs and restaurants, we have no choice but to suspend the league with immediate effect.

The health and well-being of players is our primary concern and despite it being really disappointing, we have to be guided by the advice of the experts.

We hope to be able to resume the league within a reasonable time, but this will be dependent on when the Government advice changes to allow social contact. We’ll post updates as and when we can.

WOULD CAPTAINS PLEASE CONTACT YOUR HOME ALLEY TO ADVISE THEM THAT NO GAMES IN OUR LEAGUE WILL BE PLAYED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

We’re so sorry to have to take this action, but hope you’ll understand why we need to be decisive and play our part. Our thoughts are very much with those whose jobs and livelihoods are affected by this awful situation and hope it is resolved as soon as possible.

It’s now only £2.50 to register new players. That’s the fee until the end of the season, so get recruiting and encourage some new faces to give skittles a go.
