There have been reports of a number of Microsporidia eye infections amongst rugby players recently. In light of this, SRU Medical have released the Health advisory  at the link below:

Microsporidia Health Advisory

It is good practise when conditions are muddy:

  • That players always wash their faces immediately after training/matches
  • Do not share towels
  • See a doctor/specialist if they suspect their eyes might be affected.

BBQ AT DEMPSEY – SATURDAY 10TH AND SUNDAY 11TH FEBRUARY

BBQ Dempsey EDM

PARKING AT DEMPSEY

Please can we remind parent to avoid parking at the car park at Dempsey, especially during the early morning sessions. In particular, please avoid parking on the hill coming into Dempsey, as this leaves space for only one car to pass and causes bottlenecks both coming in and out of Dempsey.

More parking can be found behind Ben and Jerrys at Dempsey Hill.

TRAINING FEES – FINAL REMINDER BEFORE THE LATE PAYMENT FEE IS APPLIED (FRIDAY 9th FEBRUARY)
