Saturday 11th May marks the end of the domestic rugby season and there are some big games for our match officials. It's Ulster Carpets Youth Finals day at the Kingspan Stadium and we wish the following officials well: Ulster Carpets U18 Cup Randalstown v Belfast Met (2.30pm) Referee: Richard Sweeney TJ’s: David Wilson & Colin Millar Ulster Carpets U16 Cup Ballynahinch v City of Armagh (12.45pm) Referee: Joel Stafford-Barton (pictured above) TJ’s: David Wilson & Colin Millar Ulster Carpets U14 Cup Banbridge v Carrickfergus (11.00am) Referee: Paul Clifford TJ’s: Eamonn McCotter & Tarek Qutteineh The Rosie Stewart Memorial Bowl takes place on Sunday at Cooke RFC where the home team will take on a ‘Best of the rest of Ulster XV’.

Peter Ferguson is our most high profile appointment of the weekend as he acts as citing commissioner for the European Challenge Cup Final this evening between Clermont Auvergne and La Rochelle. As another busy season comes to a close I would like to thank everyone for their efforts this year. It has been a very successful year both on and off the pitch and that is a real credit to each and every one of our society members. Please don’t forget the USRFR AGM which will be held in the Presidents Suite, Kingspan Stadium, on Thursday 23rd May at 8pm. A full attendance of society members would be very welcome. Finally, if anyone is considering retiring from refereeing or stepping away for whatever reason, I would really appreciate it if you would contact myself or one of our society officers. It is vital that we continue to facilitate our sport both on and off the pitch and there are many roles which need filled. Enjoy your Summer break and I will be in touch regarding pre-season training in due course! Richard Kerr Referee Development Manager 07493 868388
