Jersey Sport has issued guidance for clubs following the latest government advice not to travel in and out of the island unless it's essential because of the coronavirus outbreak.
The organisation says 'sports travel is not essential activity and therefore should cease immediately'.
It has issued the post on its Facebook page in response to the government's new guidance on Saturday.
"We recognise the impact this will have on sports in terms of fixtures, results, leagues etc., as well as the potential financial impact. If you wish to talk to us at Jersey Sport about your concerns, please get in touch. We will issue further guidance or advice as and when available."

Jersey Sport has cancelled its Move More Adult classes, Move More Health Walks and Adult Disability sessions until further notice because of the potential risk of Covid-19 to older people and those with underlying health conditions.
