After the Premier’s announcement yesterday, some major restrictions have now eased for our competitions.
 
However, again we are at the mercy of our venues and the majority are enforcing the new Vaccination age requirements. This is in line with the current Open Premises Directions (No.5), the age requirement for vaccination changing from 16 years to 12 years and 2 months.
 
Whilst we acknowledge that under the government’s current guidelines attendance at community sport does not attract a policy of being fully vaccinated for 12 years and up. The majority of the venues that facilitate our games have are adhering to the policy that all attendees (spectators and players) attending the venue over the age of 12 years and 2 months must be fully vaccinated. To create clear and transparent guidelines we have decided to adhere to this policy across ALL venues.
 
Please see restrictions update below for all venues this weekend holding DVBA competitions:
 

Masks no longer required indoors

No capacity limits or density quotients

All persons aged 12 years and 2 months or older must be fully vaccinated (double dosed) or exempt to enter our facilities.

 
 
If you have any teams that are unable to play due to this update please let me know at your earliest convenience so we can remove them from the fixture (no walkover fee).
 
Please continue to be kind to our Covid Marshals, and work with your club in advance to avoid any unnecessary conflict at the door.
 
Thank you for your understanding, we are doing the best we can to manage this in the short time frame we have.
