On Tuesday the comp was down two regular referees due to sickness and injury.

A big thank you to Tracey Coe for filling in at short notice.

A displeasing aspect in one game was the unsportsmanlike behaviour towards a novice referee.

The two teams involved should know that they are on notice and that this will not be tolerated.

Any repeat incidences of this kind will bring repercussions by the association.

In the Wednesday Mixed Competition, a number of duty referees did not turn up in the first timeslot which caused a late start trying to cover all games.

This was not helped by the late forfeit of one team, which then caused duty referees from both the teams involved not to show.

Teams who have already been advised of fines must have these fines payed to the association prior to playing this week.

All teams must ensure that their duty referee obligations are met.

It would be a shame to have games not fully covered with referees now that we are closing in on the finals with only a couple of weeks of round games left.
