The NCA fully supports the decision to postpone the fixture between Chester and Tynedale this weekend. This follows one confirmed case of MRSA at Tynedale with further players at the club being tested.

We would like to remind clubs and players of Public Health England’s latest sports hygiene messages for physical activity, available to view at http://www.groundsmanship.co.uk/sportshygiene. The website allows clubs to download posters and additional materials to display around clubs.
