The club winter sporting season got fully under way yesterday about 2½ months late.

Covid-19 has wiped out all sport since mid-March and, although teams could train in gatherings of 10 over the past couple of weeks, physical distancing was still required.

But those rules were loosened last Friday and teams were fully back into work yesterday with fields, courts and turfs all played on. Most sports will return to playing over the next few weeks with many having a shortened season, finishing near the end of September.
