Winnington Park RFC

At this sad time the Wprfc committee have made the following decision.

As per the RFU statement below, all rugby for Winnington Park RFC teams will go ahead and a minutes silence will be held before all games/training sessions.

"The official guidance we have received from Government is that there can be respectful continuation of sport at all levels this weekend.

The overwhelming opinions shared so far within the game, are that teams and supporters want to come together to honour Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to be united in our grief as we express sorrow at her passing.

Rugby, at its heart, is about community and bringing people together, in good times and in sad. Rugby clubs are a source of strength and support during times of uncertainty, and we hope that by enabling games and other rugby activity to go ahead this weekend, with families and friends congregating it will help us all to unite at this time of national mourning.

We strongly encourage all those playing sport this weekend to respectfully pay tribute to Her Majesty The Queen by holding a minute’s silence ahead of all fixtures this weekend. This an opportunity for teams from different areas to join together in honouring and celebrating her life." -- RFU Engalnd
