The RFU has already agreed to allow senior games to take place in thiose months - if Covid-19 permits - and now Durham RFU are considering the same for all of the junior age groups.
If games do take place they are most likely to be purely on a local basis and played as friendlies.
Meanwhile, the Hartlepool and District committeeis looking again at the proposal from Rovers for a local competition for senior teams. It would be a 4 to 6 week competition if some form of rugby is permitted in the spring and early summer.
