  • REFEREES, USEFUL INFORMATION.
    14 Jul 2010

    NOTIFYING REFEREE'S.
    Please ensure, if you are the home team, that you notify the Referee and provide full details of ground location by Monday evening prior to the date of the match.

    When there isn't an appointed Referee for your match (or when the appointed Referee fails to arrive) the match must go ahead with the teams mutually agreeing on a replacement Referee
    (qualified or not) to officiate the match.
    Where Clubs fail to agree on a replacement Referee, the match will be deemed as unfullfilled and the offending Club(s) will be dealt with in accordance with League rules, points may be deducted and a fine levied.

    MATCH OFFICIALS FEES AND EXPENSES.
    In all League and Cup matches (except Cup Semi Finals and Finals) the HOME team is responsible for paying the Referee's fee and travel expenses.

    CLUB REFEREE'S & ASSISTANT REFEREE'S.
    When a member of a club is either Refereeing or running the line, he/she is NOT permitted to coach the team.
    In these circumstances the club official must solely focus on the role of referee or assistant referee.
