Camogie Association suspends all club activity following GAA and LGFA decision

Club camogie has been suspended this morning as the Camogie Association follows the GAA and LGFA in deciding to shut down club activity.

GAA president John Horan last night explained how NPHET had called on greater levels of compliance with health regulations from the association.

And after a number of breaches of social distancing guidelines, club hurling and football was shut down across the country yestertday.

The LGFA quickly announced the suspension of ladies football and camogie has now followed suit - with all activities officially suspended 'in the interest of public safety', reports the Irish Mirror.

A Camogie Association statement released this morning read: "The Camogie Association’s Ard Chomhairle has now endorsed a decision to suspend all Camogie Club games ​at all levels with immediate effect ​and until further notice.  

"The decision has been taken in the interest of public safety.

"This directive applies to all ages and all grades across the island.  

"Club Social Centres/Bars are also to close.

​"Training will continue to be permitted as per the guidelines outlined for the relevant levels in the Government's National Framework for Living with COVID-19 and relevant guidelines in the Six Counties.

"The Camogie Association will continue to monitor the situation in the ​coming days and weeks, regarding changes in government guidelines, before liaising with our Units accordingly. 

"The Camogie Association would also like to acknowledge all of those Units who have worked diligently in complying with the public health advice around the staging of our games and training sessions since activity resumed."
