Another busy weekend for our referees

The rugby action keeps on coming this weekend. There is plenty of action both at home and abroad with youth leagues, Medallion Shield, adult leagues and of course the all important final round of the European group stages. USRFR referees really do need to be commended for the efforts they put in to allowing the game of rugby to actually happen. A match cannot take place without a referee and the efforts of many need to be praised. The excellent coaching and assessing structure in Ulster allows referees to develop so thank you also to all those who give up of their time to undertake those roles.
