 : 

Open pitches for Adult training next Wednesday, June 24th. 

Open for Minor and below from Saturday, June 27th.

Both of the above on a non-contact basis and on the understanding that players and all participants have completed the eLearning module and are following the control measures in place (health questionnaire etc).

On the basis of a maximum of 15 players in a designated area of the field (26 Counties) and 10 players in a designated area of the field (6 Counties).

Allow contact training and challenge games for all from Monday, June 29th (26 Counties).

We await guidance from the NI Executive in relation to 6 Counties – non-contact training in the numbers outlined above in the interim.
