Bay's match is off as FAW stops all play due to Coronavirus

Colwyn Bay's match with Gresford FC in the JD Cymru North Welsh Cup is off tomorrow due to fears about the spread of Coronavirus.

The Football Association of Wales has today taken the decision to suspend domestic football at all levels in Wales with immediate effect until 4 April due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

In a recently updated statement on their website, the FAW say that their intention is to resume the football schedule depending on the medical advice and conditions from the relevant authorities at that time.

"The FAW is fully aware of the impact this will have on the domestic game but the health and safety of all fans, players, volunteers and stakeholders are of paramount importance.

"The FAW will continue to monitor this situation on a day-by-day basis and will continue to provide updates when appropriate".

Colwyn Bay's Manager Craig Hogg commented: " It is the right decision. The health and safety of all our players, club officials, fans and the wider public is paramount.

"This is clearly an unprecedented event in our life time, but football plays such an important role in society.

"With the suspension of the game at all levels in Wales, the FAW have acted quickly and appropriately. We hope to resume the season on April 4th."
