MACQUARIE REGIONAL PLASTERING

RESERVE GRADE - 1:20 PM - 35 MIN HALVES

FIRST GRADE - 2:30PM – 40 MIN HALVES

There has been a decline in referee numbers over recent years for a number of reasons, one of which is referee abuse. This season there are a number of new and particularly young referees and touch judges. The Group XI General Committee (representatives from all clubs) have asked that the fans keep the future of Rugby League in mind at our games. Support your teams by all means but give these new officials a chance
