Due to pitch conditions mini activity has been cancelled. Youth players contact your coaches.....

All

with a very heavy heart I have had to cancel the fixture tomorrow against Thanet and with it mini training.

I have been up to the pitches this morning and checked them all. They are frozen even now and where there have been scrummages and where there are other ruts in the ground the edges are solid which means there is a higher risk of ankle and other injuries.

I have spoken to the Thanet Rep and because of this combined with the temp is likely to be around 2-3 degrees we have decided that it would not be safe or in the interest of the players to proceed.

Unfortunately whilst we have managed to obtain access to other grounds as a contingency for wet weather we do not have an indoor contingency for cold weather due to the size of space we would need and the availability of such a space on such a sporadic basis.

As there are some limited flat areas and as the older players can better deal with the cold conditions I am allowing youth coaches to make their decision on a team by team basis so please contact your coach for confirmation.

At this time (1246hrs 21/1/17) the U15 game has been cancelled and they intend to train. The U18 game is still on awaiting an update.

Thank you
Marc
Mini/Youth Chair
