Where are you this weekend? 2015/2016.

[BigClothesSir]

L8, if Wikipedia is to be believed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_rugby_union_system

It is L8 as promotion feeds to S Lancs/Cheshire 1 which is definitely L7.

Finished.

Might go and watch LLP Jnr referee or might go shopping.......or might stick pins in my eyes.

Saturday

Northwich 2s v Liverpool St Helens 2s (L9) -

Northwich safe in mid-table, Saints scrapping to stay up, playing the team above them on Weds night (Didsbury Toc-H 2s) at home, if they win that, they'll still have something to play for, lose that and they'll already be down.

Sunday

Cheshire U16s Cup Final day at Crewe and Nantwich RUFC

AR2 for:-

Congleton V New Brighton, U16 Shield Final
Sandbach V Caldy, U16 Bowl Final

Then sleep

 

[Daftmedic]

Hunts & Peterborough Cup Final

Thorny 1st -v- Huntingdon 2nd

Let's just hope that last Saturday's drama isn't repeated. Match tied with PK in overtime, so we went to extra time! Vets game as well. Good fun though.

Last night at The Rec reffing the combi finals, Bath Uni v Chippenham, two different styles played at 100mph :swet: win for the students 19-13.

Tonight, county final Weston-Super-Mare v Weston Hornets, crowd in excess of 3K expected (2K of advanced tickets already sold) as it's being played in WSM, both sides agreed, should be fun, my turn to AR tonight!

(2K of advanced tickets already sold)

Obviously you were a last minute appointment :biggrin:

Have fun and DFIU.

Tigers v Worcester today. Greg Garner in the middle.
Uttoxeter v Rugeley U17 Sunday morning.

Tigers are soft launching Fan Radio (we can't call it Ref Link as that is a trade name) for this last match of the season.
The kit costs £15 and will work for this match and all matches next season, so about £1 a match.
You can tune it to the ref, to radio Leicester commentary, or to standard FM radio.

The lanyard is the aerial and you can hang it on your ear, or plug a set of earphones into it.

Off to Sydney this weekend for a 2nd grade game up there. Should be fun to get out of my usual environment and have some pressure taken off.

 

[Dickie E]

and have some pressure taken off.

well done and have fun. No pressure in Sydney 2nd grade???

I'm sure there is pressure, but it's a different type. I can just go into the game without any idea about the sides and relax into the game. At home you know exactly what is at stake, and after being around for a while players, coaches, spectators get to know you etc. Maybe pressure was the wrong word.

That's what I love about having changed Societies.
After 9 years refereeing in Warwickshire I knew every cub, team, coach, etc.

Now every weekend is a new discovery.....for me and the teams :biggrin:

So only one more year to go before "Oh **** - not him again" then?

I have been offered a Vets game at my club on Friday night. With a bit of luck it'll be so warm they'll only play 25 mins each way.

U14 Seven Tournament on Sunday, again at my club. Hope the legs manage - see above.

I thought the season was over, but have been handed Northwich Ladies 1s v Burnley Ladies 1s on Saturday.

A precursor to the Mens 1st team game v West Park. Northwich are league champions with West Park already guaranteed 2nd place so that could be a belting game. Will run the line if not worn out by the ladies.

Northwich coach is Steve Lander who is always good value for a chinwag after the game.

 

[Ciaran Trainor]

Nothing this weekend, volunteering behind the bar for http://keswick2barrow.co.uk/ the Keswick to Barrow walk which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
Tough job but somebody has to do it.
Take a look at the website.
We've been doing this charity running stuff up here long before it was trendy.:smile::clap:
I did complete it a couple of times in my 20s.
Never again

Feel like the few actual active referees in Manchester are actually doing serious games this weekend apart from me.

I have the delight of Fleetwood Vets v Stafford Vets in a friendly memorial match. There may or may not have been a request for my usual bottle of lucozade to be replaced with a bottle of port at half-time (I've been told both sides will be drinking while playing so...)

I've never done a Vets game and I will be the youngest person on the pitch by 15 years at least. This could be a new kind of challenge.

Saturday I'm mowing the lawn while the other half does a bit of pruning.
