Hello all referees,

 The June Monthly meeting which had been rescheduled to July 1 in Kempsey has been CANCELLED. This is due to the large number of catch up matches making it difficult for referees to attend.

Please note that the NEXT MEETING will now be on JULY 29th at KEMPSEY RSL.

All referees are expected to attend these meetings. If you can not make it, please submit an apology.

1) If you play Friday nights and are also able/willing to referee, could you pleasesend an email advising of your teams FULL NAME so we can match up your appointments with where you are playing.

Please note simply 'Wauchope YD1' is not enough as often there are more than one team from a club in a certain age group.

Thankyou.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

If your game starts on time but for any reason is delayed (injury, ambulance, power cut off, etc)  DO NOT extend the finishing time.

If an interruption occurs early in the game or if rain occurs, referee and coaches should discuss the situation and BOTH HALVES of the game should be shortened equally. e.g. if the first half is shortened by 5 minutes, the second half should also be shortened by 5 minutes. 

Refer to Laws of the Game  Law 7 “Duration of the Match”.

The next match MUST start at the advertised time.
