Following advice from Swim Ireland and Ireland Water Polo, Cú Chulainn WPC would like to inform all members that all regional and national events including matches and cup competitions have been postponed until further notice. We are not aware when or if events will be rescheduled.
Our planned fundraiser due to take place on Friday 20 March is also postponed. We hope to re-schedule this in the coming weeks.
At present, training sessions for junior and senior players will continue. This is consistent with the statements issued by our governing body. We will continue to monitor the situation and inform members if there is any change. If you are in any doubt as to whether you should attend, please consider the advice from the Public Health Agency.
