This Risk Assessment Guidance will be updated in keeping with the latest announcements made by the UK Government, Public Health officials, and the respective sport governing bodies for the location that UK Lions are playing.
We are playing under existing Irish Hockey / Ulster Hockey sport guidelines and no one can envisage how things might change which may effect this. So in travelling, Coaches, Players and Parents accept the risk as it stands, and that events might mean that things can change at the last minute for which we will have no control.
