As a result of the Government advice regarding social distancing and advice from the West Riding FA, all club training sessions have been suspended for the foreseeable future. The 5-a-side Gala, due to take place on the 15th, 16th and 17th of May 2020, has also been cancelled.
The Huddersfield MACRON Junior Football League has also postponed all fixtures until further notice.
I’m sure you all know someone in the most vulnerable groups outlined by the Government yesterday; an elderly parent, a family member with a chronic illness such as Asthma, Diabetes, COPD or Crohn’s, or perhaps a close friend who is undergoing treatment for a cancer such as Lymphoma or Leukemia. These people deserve to be protected and the steps taken by us as a society should help to do that. Missing out on sport and recreation for a few months is not such a hardship to bear, even though it is disappointing.
Please look after yourselves and those close to you and we will get back to football when the pandemic is over.
