All NPL clubs are legally obliged to use the NHS covid-19 app. NHS QR posters —specific to each club — will be displayed to offer a simple and secure way for supporters to register that they’ve been to the ground. This will help NHS Test-and-Trace to identify people who may have been exposed to the coronavirus.
Players, fans, coaches, match officials, staff, volunteers and all other visitors aged 16 and above must provide their details. The app is available on Android and iOS https://covid19.nhs.uk/help-downloading.html
MOSSLEY's march continues with another home game tomorrow (Saturday).
The Lilywhites, who have a 100 per cent record from three matches, face Pickering Town in an intriguing fixture. The North Yorkshire side were bottom when the Pitching In NPL first division north west was wound up in March but last week took a point from Workington, the club that was top.
