TRY YOUR HAND AT REFEREEING

We are urgently in need of more REEFEREES for Monday and Wednesday fixtures. We encourage everyone to have a go. Refereeing is an excellent way of achieving fitness and better knowledge of the rules.

Don't sit back and expect others to referee your games if you're not prepared to give them the same courtesy. Refereeing is not for everyone but you'll never know if you don't give it a go.more
