Rugby update

I couldn't find a ref for my U16 game today so i figured I'd have to do it which did not fill me with joy. Fortunately the Barbs were in pretty much the same boat so we traded and I reffed their U16 play off game against Brock and Khalil from the Barbs reffed my boys. I'm not sure who got the better deal. We were missing a number of key players and ground out a thoroughly scrappy 13-5 win against the Saracens. Still, that leaves us 7 and 0 with one game to play so we can't finish lower than second in the division. The game i reffed was a really good game of rugby. The Barbs recycling at the breakdown was really, really good and allowed them to set up 9 tries. It would have been a massacre if they hadn't been a bit sloppy in defence which allowed Brock to score six breakaway tries. The final was 51-34 and i had to run my ass off chasing the speedy litlle buggers all over the park. Still, a really fun game to referee.

reffing, coaching, rugby
