Refereeing Course

NACRA has offered to run a training course for potential referees in Nassau and Freeport, so we would like to know if there are enough interested people to justify the event. The BRFU is asking club presidents and/or captains to please identify at least two players or ex-players who would be interested in attending this course. Please get back to Nigel Kirkby or myself with your names by the weekend.

Women’s Rugby

Thanks to everybody who has helped the women with their fundraising by purchasing burgers, shots, cup cakes and jerseys. The girls are attempting to raise money to attend a tournament in Trinidad & Tobago in December and still have quite a bit more money to raise. If you’re at the game on Saturday, please continue to purchase from the ladies.
