Good luck! Any thoughts on what you're going to have to be sharp on, or are you going to take it as it comes?

Not one for the purists! Terrible weather in the North East, most games off waterlogged but mine was on, but rained throughout, windy too. Both teams spending too much time on the ground and hands everywhere, penalty count reflected that in the second half as didn’t respond to my warning at half time.

Assessor was happy and positive all things considered, only so much I can do, and an unpredictable game, 0-12 to Houghton (the L8 team).

My match yesterday (men play on Sundays here) had four players who are also refs at my level or higher. One at scrum half too... I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was actually really helpful because they managed their players, called them back 10, (generally) agreed with my calls and explained a couple of tricky points to their teammates in the stoppages. Referees: not as bad when playing as I'd feared :)

This Saturday

L12

Hemsworth II v Wortley

:biggrin:

We get dropped down every 3rd or 4th game as there aren't enough level 7/8 to go round.
It can be quite an eye opener sometimes with the things they do that have you going WTF just happened!

Indeed. It's always a different challenge.

"Who've you got next week sir?"

"L7 v L7"

"Oh!?"

They never say what they're thinking :biggrin:

L10 (I think) Candy League Cup Final on Friday night - Hartlepool Rovers 2s vs Stockton 2s, two decent teams - would it be cynical of me to suggest that they may be somewhat strengthened as it's Friday night game and a cup final :chin:

Hartlepool must provide half the teams in that competition - I've never come across such a relatively small place having so many clubs.

Up the monkey hangers!

Thank God Hartlepool Athletic folded.

Hartlepool Athletic - now there was a misnomer if ever there was one :biggrin:

I did Wests pre-season at Beverley - that was a good game.

:knuppel2: that's going to be a messy one :eek:) Had the pleasure of Bradford Saleem a few seasons back, in weather conditions I hadn't experienced since the Falkland Islands!!

For my sins - in addition to the midweek Cup Games - I have Midlands 2 East (South)

Bugbrooke -v- Olney

6th in the League plays top
