Dublin LGFA urge all members to follow shutdown guidelines after reports of some mentors attempting to organise training

The Dublin LGFA have encouraged all their members to follow the heath guidelines in the wake of the GAA shutdown after reports came to the Association of some club mentors trying to organising training sessions.

The GAA, LGFA, and Camogie boards shut down all activity until March 29 as the coronavirus measures imposed by the Government began to take hold.

But despite that, some individuals in club were still trying to have team get togethers, which prompted the board to clarify the situation.

"Dublin LGFA has received a number of messages from worried members informing us that some club mentors are organising or trying to set up team training sessions," they said.

"[The Dublin] LGFA has suspended all activity at club, inter-county and educational levels until March 29 (inclusive).

"This includes all games, training and team gatherings at all ages and at all grades.

"The LGFA player injury fund has suspended cover to members from the 12-29th of March

"LGFA will continue to liaise with Government officials and review the situation between now and the end of the month, assessing the impact of these measures on our competitions.

"In the meantime, the Association is encouraging all members to continue to follow the guidelines which have been provided by the health authorities."
