Rugby refereeing in Leicestershire
At short notice the RFU asked the Society to provide a Team of 3 for the Leicester Academy versus Saracens Academy played at Oakham School on Saturday 18th January. The Tigers won a very tight match by 2 points.
On Friday afternoon we finally got a set of Match Officials together with Duncan Chandler refereeing and Nick Houghton and Kerrel Wills as AR's.
Belatedly, Paul Clayton receives the Ken Foster Shield for season 1918-19 from the President Kerrel Wills.
