To Members of Dunbar and Skerries
Dunbar Fixture 2021
As we are all aware, we are in an unprecedented situation due to the Covid 19 pandemic and we are currently experiencing a rise in infections and local/ country lockdowns. While we may have Rugby for the elite sports which is great to see back on, the Club level is suffering and therefore harder to arrange, let alone play at our level.
With regard to the annual fixture which was to be the 69th fixture in March 2021, both Clubs have been in discussion and Both are in agreement that a postponement to a later date in September will be more a realistic prospect and allow both Clubs an opportunity to plan based on the current travelling restrictions. A similar situation happened back in 2001.
This fixture has very strong roots in both Clubs and while disappointing the fixture may be delayed, both Clubs are in full agreement that the postponement is in the best interest for our members under the current
health/travel restrictions.
Both Clubs look forward to the renewal of friendships and rugby in late 2021.
We will provide updates on date as things hopefully progress to a safer environment.
Thank you for your support.
Yours in rugby
Skerries and Dunbar Committee.
