UPDATE | BUCS Leagues and Knockout competitions now cancelled for 2020/21 season

BUCS – Return to Play Update

BUCS have reviewed their plans in line with the most recent UK and Scottish Government announcements and lockdown measure.

A decision has been made to cancel BUCS leagues and knockout programmes that were due to start in February 2021. This essentially cancels these leagues for the 2020/21 season. 

BUCS are reviewing all other events and where possible will be postponing these until later in the year. Information on sport specific events will be on each individual sport page on the BUCS website.

We understand that this will be a great disappoint for those that were aiming to be part of a BUCS team for this academic year, but the safety of students and the wider community is a priority during this time.

Northumbria Sport will continue to follow Government guidance and will aim to react to changes that allow sport activity to restart when possible, with an aim to support students to take part in social sport, training and friendly games once this is possible.
