Reopening and 2021-2022 teams

Posted on September 16, 2021October 6, 2021 By admin

As the government COVID restrictions ease we hope to re-open the club on Monday nights, soon, and we are liaising with the manager of the premises about how best to do this. It is our hope to be in a position to reopen after the October 22nd relaxation of restrictions.

The LCU is looking for clubs to confirm by the end of the month, what teams will be playing in the 2021-2022 season. So contact your club captain and the secretary Brendan to let them know you are available.
