Hi All,

Below is what has been sent to each club from the FAI. Bunclody AFC have deciding the best way for the club to move forward is that the coach can decide whether to bring the team back to training or not. All age groups can continue with the exception of adult teams. We would ask all patrons to continue to observe social Distance, please practice good hygiene also. Please check your child’s temper prior to arriving at training.

Stay safe, stay positive, we are in this together!
