As we look forward to next weekend fixtures, we thank our clubs, their officers, players and supporters for the way in which they embraced the new and hopefully temporary measures we have in place re ticket allocations due to the 200 person limit on attendances.   We also remind all going forward of the continuing need to practice social distancing and to follow all HSE advice.
