Munster Branch Competitions Season 2020-2021
Covid 19 Update
Competitions – Level 3 Confirmation
Now that it is confirmed that the whole country is going to Level 3 from midnight tonight (06.10.20), I want to remind everyone that all competitions below Division 1 have been suspended until we revert to Level 2. At the very minimum matches scheduled for the next 3 weekends will be postponed. Branch Fixtures Secretaries will refix all these games. All teams below Division 1 can continue to train but it must be in pods of 15, which includes the coach/manager etc.
Division 1 teams can apply for postponements if they don’t wish to play their scheduled matches on health and safety grounds, however, postponement rules MUST be followed.
Please note that the Charity Cup and Examiner Cup are deemed to be Division 1 competitions. Matches that involve Div.2 teams competing in these competitions will go ahead as scheduled.
