Good Communication Is Essential...


GOOD COMMUNICATION is everything in Colts League Rugby...

MOST Team Managers are playing their part in confirming fixtures with each other.

Your League Secretaries are playing their part in posting results on the WebSite each Sunday evening...

And the Referee Society Appointments Teams are working hard and playing their part in arranging Referee appointments, sometimes re-appointing at short notice...

HOWEVER - Some Managers ARE NOT...

Last weekend one game went without a Referee, and the Referee without a game, due to a Team's inability to make contact...

The fact the Manager did not speak personally to the Referee, and left it to a colleague who forgot is JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH...

Referees were in short supply last weekend and the Referee could have been appointed to another game.

The Club concerned has therefore been fined by their Society.

This Club will also come low down the priority list when Referees are in short supply again !! - which is most weekends at present.


The moral of this story is...

1/. Get your act together and agree who's going to phone the Referee. Managers - if in doubt do it yourself then you know it's been done.

2/. Always take a note of your Referee's mobile number for last minute emergeny contact.

3/. As per the Referee Protocol make sure you speak personally to your Referee - don't leave messages with wives or children or on an answerphone - they might not get through...

Good Communication is essential.


Please Also Note...
It is suggested Team Managers confirm games with each other on the preceeding Sunday to allow the Home Team the best opportunity of securing the services of a Society Referee.

Although the League's "Contact System" allows Managers to eMail each other it should not be the only form of contact made and must not be relied upon.

If your Oppostite Number has not been in touch - Call Him !! or Her !! Don't wait...
