REMINDER TO ALL COACHES AND SPECTATORS
Whilst it is natural for spectators to encourage their own teams to win, we would remind everyone that the purpose of mini-rugby is to teach
youngsters how to play and enjoy the game. We believe, therefore, that
skills, effort and good sportsmanship, from wherever it comes, should be
appreciated and applauded. We would add that all our referees have been
briefed on the laws of Mini Rugby and we ask that coaches and spectators
accept their decisions without dispute and in good humour.
We also respectfully remind all spectators that this is a “dog-free” festival.
