Ulster GAA reminds clubs to abide by government guidelines

Ulster GAA has reminded clubs to abide by government guidelines after it was announced that outdoor training for up to 15 people will be permitted from April 12.

The NI Executive agreed on a relaxation of some lockdown restrictions on Tuesday.

From April 12, small groups of up to 15 people will be allowed to take part in sports training with sports clubs affiliated with recognised governing bodies, but with all indoor spaces will remain closed except for essential toilet facilities.

Ulster GAA issued a statement on Tuesday evening, insisting member clubs should not return to group training until the date specified by the NI Executive.

"The NI Executive have this evening announced that sports training for affiliated clubs may resume outdoors in groups of up to 15 people from Monday 12 April, subject to Executive ratification the previous week," the statement read.

"GAA clubs in the north must stress to their players and management teams that 12 April is the earliest date that they may be permitted to resume activity.

"The GAA’s Covid Advisory Group will consider this development and will in the coming period issue updated guidance to all units of the Association.

"In the meantime, it is important that all our units continue to abide by both Government and GAA guidelines. To this end it is worth re-stating that all GAA pitches and indoor facilities remain closed at present."
