Suspension of the BCGFL to 23rd January 2021

Unfortunately, I regret to inform everyone that the BCGFL will suspending fixtures until further notice for all age groups. It is our hope to restart the fixtures on the 23rd January 2021 subject to Government restrictions and guidance. Should this not be the case we as a league will be discussing contingency plans for the rest of the season.

Although the FA guidance is still permitting training and matches for youth there are a variety of reasons we've come to this decision:

- With secondary schools not returning it's difficult to then stand by the concept of group gatherings of any age under the Tier 4 restrictions and although primary schools are returning it would be unfair to have some girls playing and some girls not.

- There are some clubs within our league that either have players or they themselves fall outside of the Berkshire border so would be harsh to exclude them.

- We also understand that the more pessimistic of parents won't wish to send their kids to football and the pressure of it continuing could cause issues for them, judging from the amount of postponements we had before Xmas it does cause havoc to the structures having to redo everything in bits.

- It has also come to our attention that the facilities for many clubs for training and matches are closing during the period of Tier 4 so some teams will be unable to train or host matches.

Apologies this message is not of better news heading into 2021. We will of course keep it under constant review and look to restart when is deemed safe and sensible to do so. Here's to a better year eventually we hope.
