Covid Takes Down Yorkshire Coast Rugby Fixtures

Whitby, Scarborough and Bridlington's rugby first teams have all postponed their matches scheduled for Saturday.

Scarborough were due to travel to Heath in Yorkshire 1 East, hoping to follow on from a dramatic second half fightback and victory against Moortown, a week earlier. 

While Whitby were set to travel to Gateshead side Ryton keen to kickstart their Durham & Northumberland Division Two campaign.

Bridlington also called off their clash with Dinnington in Yorkshire One.

The Rugby Football Union gave clubs a choice to postpone their matches this weekend if they had any concerns over the new Covid variant.

We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
