Following confirmation of a confirmed Covid case for Reading Raiders who played Worcester Jaguars last week, both Bath Gladiators and Worcester Jaguars have agreed to reschedule this weekends game out of a duty of care to our players and staff with a number of the Worcester players and coaching staff receiving self isolation notices.
The game will be rescheduled in the next week or so.
Commenting on the postponement Bath Gladiators Chairman Dean Buchan commented “I understand its frustrating when games are called off for all involved, but we have to safe guard our players and staff members. It would be irresponsible for us to go ahead with the game knowing the potential Covid risks and so both teams agreed to reschedule the game.”
“We are working hard on arranging a last minute game to give our boys a run out and hope to announce something this afternoon.”
It has been a frustrating week for Bath Gladiators players and fans as the game is the second to be postponed following the home game v University of Gloucester Oldboys last weekend.
