Well,... its been a long hard season for our players and coaches. It's also been a long season for our men and women in the middle with the whistle". ( Yes we do have a few lady referees in Yorkshire ! ) Our referees have had matches cancelled due to a lack of players, bad weather, heavy traffic. flooding etc. Other refs have been switched to cover league or cup games at short notice .
May I thank you for all your efforts and hope that you enjoy the close season. After all, you are volunteers.
Finally, may I thank those of you who have sought out your ref after the match to thank them for their efforts...and especially those of you who bought him or her a pint ! We have an acute shortage of referees in Yorkshire , and we must keep hold of the ones we've got. If it costs you a pint, think of it as money well spent !
