LSRUR
Rugby refereeing in Leicestershire
Roger Woolley receiving an engraved tankard from LSRUR President, Kerrel Wills, at the recent members meeting.
Roger has recently stepped down from the role of LSRUR Quartermaster, after almost 40 years service; a quite remarkable feat.
Well done Roger and we hope that you can now enjoy meetings, without having to carry large bags of kit around; a huge thank you for all those years service, from all members of LSRUR.
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.
The Shield is for the referee who supports the appointment secretaries best in refereeing junior rugby within Leicestershire
The highlight of our Novembers meeting was a presentation by Christophe Ridley one of the elite referees who started his refereeing career with Leicestershire
