Cefn Druids’s fixture with Haverfordwest County postponed

The JD Cymru Premier fixture between the Cefn Druids and Haverfordwest County has been postponed as a result of COVID-19.

Wayne Jones’ side played two fixtures during the firebreak lockdown against Bala Town and The New Saints.

A first-team player has since tested positive for the virus and a result, the club is now in a period of isolation.

The Bluebirds’ squad will remain in isolation until Friday 20 November, with their next fixture scheduled against Flint Town United a day later.

In a statement released by Haverfordwest County, it read: “On 7th November, a first-team player tested positive for Covid-19.  As the squad trained within 48 hours prior to the positive test being returned, all players and coaching staff are now self-isolating at the request of Public Health Wales. As players and staff have had no contact since this date, the 14-day isolation period is due to conclude at midnight on Friday 20^th November.

“Although we feel this request is not in line with FAW Return to Play protocols and general practice during this season so far, the safety of our players and coaching staff is paramount so feel we have no choice but to adhere to this advice, and as a result the match against Cefn Druids on Saturday 14^th November will be postponed.

“We had notified our previous and future opposition at the earliest opportunity, and we would like to express our sincere thanks to officials at Bala Town and Cefn Druids for their clear communication, support and understanding during this week.

“The club have satisfied all parties that all required safety protocols were followed to the letter.”
