    When does the cash go?

    Does anyone know when they will try and take the money from our accounts for the tickets that were bought in the ballot? I'd hate to have had some tickets that I then lost because I didn't have enough cash in my account Cheers Mike

    Refs tan

    So, after two solid days of reffing at a minis festival over the weekend, I got home to the Mrs who had a good laugh at my Ref's, tan. 4 inches of brown knee sandwiched between a sea of white leg previously covered by pulled-up socks and long Society shorts.

    So, I finally got that guy today

    I reffed 6 different games today at a festival both U11s and U12s, ending up with the two U12s finals for 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th places.
