The executive committee met (on zoom) on Friday to discuss teams continuing to play football under tier 4 restrictions

With the huge increase in the infection rates across the country it is apparent that this is a critical time in beating this pandemic and we are supporting a "hard line" approach with regards protocols and processes. We believe there is an amount of complacency within the grass roots football community, particularly following the good news concerning vaccination.
 

At present all training and matches for seniors is suspended.

Games arranged by NGLFL will be played against other Nottinghamshire sides.

Any player living outside Nottinghamshire will NOT be allowed to train or play games.
