Fellow Colleagues and Supporters,
The past few weeks have been challenging for everyone and our thoughts are with each and every one of you as you navigate these unchartered waters.
Season Update
An update on the rugby front for you. Like every sporting organisation around the world, Subbies rugby is watching the developments of COVID-19 very closely with the intention of getting us all back on the field as quickly as possible whilst maintaining our health and safety as the primary objective. We have had a phone hook up with Subbies management who outlined a draft plan to play half of the 2020 season, commencing in July, and culminating in one day of Finals in mid September. As you can imagine, this is nothing more than a concept at this stage given the great uncertainty around how long we are going to be restricted to semi-isolation.
As a club, we are drafting plans to carry out a second pre-season which will be conducted remotely/online. Watch this space for more details as this gets finalised. Every week, we will be hosting a discussion forum (drinks) at 6:30pm on Thursdays for anyone who wants to sign into the zoom call. The link will be sent around on the Players Portal. If you are not on that and would like to participate, please contact me.
I will keep you closely updated on the developments for the 2020 season and a new date for the Long Lunch as soon as we get the all clear!!
As always, if you have any questions or comments or just want to chat, please don’t hesitate calling.
Stay safe and keep your distance!!
Best regards,
Cam Ireland
