The Ulster Society of Rugby Football Referees are holding a recruitment day on Saturday 18th August at Newforge Country Club, Belfast.

The course starts with registration at 9:30 am and runs through to 4:00 pm.

The free, one-day course is open to men and women over 18 and offers a basic outline on the key components of refereeing and those interested can then take the next steps to becoming a fully qualified referee.

If you have recently retired from playing or want to explore an alternative route into rugby then contact Referee Support Officer, Dan Carson with your name and telephone number.

There is no rugby without referees.
