Following the great honour of holding the position of President of the RFU it is an enormous pleasure for me to have been elected as President of my own County Constituent Body. It is good to be back amongst my friends in Hertfordshire and I wish everybody involved in rugby in our County a tremendous 2018-2019 season. I look forward to visiting as many Hertfordshire Clubs & Schools as I can throughout the coming season and to meeting new rugby friends as well as renewing old friendships.
I take this opportunity to thank Martyn Kirk for all he has achieved during his tenure of office and wish him well. I also thank Harry Harrison who, after
many excellent productive years as one of our CRC’s, is retiring from his role and moving down, with his family, to the West Country. Harry has achieved so much for the rugby youth of our County and will be an extremely hard act to follow. Having said that, I wish Sam Clapham, who has been appointed to take over from Harry, all the very best in his endeavours to carry on the excellent and much needed work. Sam joins the hard-working Rugby Development Team of Tom Redfern & Tom Mowbray from Bedfordshire CB even though he’s a “Tring Boy” ! I am delighted Richard Milnes, our former County Chairman, has agreed to come back on to the County Exec as my Vice President and look forward to working with him again. I am also delighted to welcome onto our Executive Committee Colin Ashwood as our Director of Club Development, Mark Thompson as our Director of Communications and Ian Bell as our Independent Executive Director & Chairman of Nominations. Also, whilst thanking Brian Burke for handling our Membership and allocation of International tickets over the last few years, it is a pleasure to welcome Simon Embleton as our new Membership Secretary & International Ticket Secretary. There is an excellent team around me and I thank them all for their continuing support of rugby throughout our County.
Our continued thanks also go to all our Referees whose devotion to our game is greatly appreciated and without whom none of us could play the game. In addition to thanking our Referees, I also sincerely thank all our huge numbers of Volunteers throughout the width and breadth of the County who give up so much of their time in helping run various aspects of rugby throughout Hertfordshire and also without whom we could not survive.
It’ll be another challenging year for many of our Clubs and Schools and I wish them all a successful and fulfilling season.

This year (2018/19) is season 83 for the Hertfordshire Rugby Football Union (Herts RFU; Herts Rugby).
The AGM on 18th June 2018 approved changes to the structure and constitution of the Union. The purpose of which is to reflect and realign the Union to match the development of our game over the last twenty years or so. Going forward, there is the need to refocus on the Community Game and our member clubs’ needs being represented to the Rugby Football Union. Of course, this will be a two-way debate with effective and responsive communication an essential requirement.
The reasons behind the need for the restructure are many. There have been fundamental changes in the rugby landscape in England over the last 25 years. The adult male game has been transformed with the full scale development of the English Clubs Championship, for first XVs, and Merit Tables for lower XVs and junior clubs; there has been an exponential growth in age grade rugby, both male and female; Women’s rugby has flourished and become one of the fastest growing sports in the country; the resulting increased use of the clubs and pitches, especially with youth and women being focused on Sunday, prompts the need for facility development and improvement; alongside those changes we have added responsibilities for safeguarding and other governance issues, all of which introduce more bureaucracy.
The final structure was the result of considerable debate within the executive and extensive consultation with our clubs and other stakeholders. In this process many people made valuable contributions, and their input was greatly appreciated. Keeping us on track, collating all documentation and ensuring that our timetable was maintained was our Honorary Secretary, Adrian Sparks. Thank you, Adrian.
Our focus, this year, is to implement the changes and make them effective and meaningful to our constituent member clubs.
All of this generates an increasing workload for clubs and the County. This burden is taken up by the increasing number of volunteers needed to sustain our game.
Hertfordshire RFU is supported by over ninety volunteers, all of whom have come from our member clubs and/or Hertfordshire Society of Rugby Union Football Referees and are unpaid. They range from our Officers, Directors and their teams, coaches for the representative sides, adult and age groups, support administrators, and, not forgetting, disciplinary members. Without them all we would not be able to function. Everybody gives of their time freely and we benefit from their skills and knowledge in all aspects of rugby. It is difficult to thank everybody individually but you should know that your efforts are very much appreciated. Thank you all.

I started my piece in this handbook last year with the statement, “this coming season will see further changes in the structure of governance of Hertfordshire Rugby”. A complete review of the governance and structure took place and at the A.G.M. in June 2018 the meeting approved the various changes to the Articles of Governance and approved the new structure of executive governance. Job description for the new “Directors” roles were approved and the new executive met on Thursday 12th July 2018 for the first time. I would like to thank all the executive for the time they put in on this massive task. I do have to especially thank the efforts of the working party of John Gregory and the legal eagles, Peter Baines and Peter Brady.
The new executive structure has seen Nikita Jackson step down from her role as Chairman of Competitions, we thank her for all her hard work in the past and hope that she will remain as part of Peter Brady’s team in his role as Directory of Game Development (which now encompasses Competitons) . We also welcome three new faces to the executive, the first is Mark Thompson in the role of Director of Communications. I pointed out in my piece last year that we were aware of faults on the communications front and that we would be addressing the issue, Mark is part of this response. Now as they say “Rome was not built in a day” so it will take Mark time to get to grips with the issues and put in place solutions but we are hopeful that you will see an improvement during the season. The second new face, although many of you will know him through his work on facilities, is Colin Ashwood who becomes Director of Club Development. The third is the appointment of Ian Bell as The Independent Director and Chairman of The Nominations Panel.This role will enable the executive to have a “critical friend” to make sure that the executive are meeting the aims and objectives of the Hertfordshire R.F.U. as set out by the R.F.U and the member clubs. We also welcome back to the executive Richard Milnes, our previous chairman, who is the new Vice-President.
As is the custom, the guard changed at the A.G.M., by this I mean that Martyn Kirk stood down as President after his two years in office, thank you Martyn for all your hard work, and Peter Baines became the President. Peter I am sure needs no introduction from me and we look forward to his continued involvement in Hertfordshire Rugby. Outside the executive committee Brian Burke has stepped down as Membership Secretary and International Ticket Secretary and Simon Embleton has come into that role. I would like to thank Brian for all his efforts.
As I write this in late July 2018 we know that the R.F.U. are undergoing a major staffing review as part of their response to a substantial deficit in their budget. At the time of writing we are not sure what R.F.U. staff we will be working with both nationally and locally. So when I now mention our R.D.O. and our two C.R.Cs. then I can only hope they are still all in place when the dust settles. Tom Redfern and his team have during the last season and will this season, continue to develop ways of increasing the numbers of people playing the game in various guises. This is in direct response to the work done by Graham Walker two years ago year. Last year saw a number of developments to aid this goal. One of the major things that will help this is the new AGP at Cheshunt eventually opened in early April 2018 and the AGP at Harpenden that is scheduled to open at the end of August. Can I remind clubs that these facilities are there for you all! Any club can go on line and book time on the pitches, just set up an account (it’s an easy process) and book them.
SECRETARY’S REPORT

The women’s game continues to expand within in our county and although their representation on the executive has now fallen to one, she does look after the money! We have a number of women involved with county outside the executive. Tim Bonnett, as part of his brief, is working with Alban Barnes to develop the game amongst girls and with the help of Angela Clifford and Tom Redfern have also grown the game to twelve clubs now with viable girls and or adult women’s teams. I think we are well placed to develop further in Hertfordshire.
This year, to help us both at club and and county level to identify and help the leaders of tomorrow we will be running another Leadership Academy. 2016-2017 saw us have our first cohort of people pass through the RFU leadership academy.
It would be remiss of me not to mention the playing front, although I am sure our Director of Rugby has said something in his piece. It was a good year for us in this field. Our Youth teams did well. Our under 20s reached the semi-final of their county championship losing to a very good Yorkshire side. The women won two of their three games (in only their third season in the county championship) beating Cornwall and Somerset and narrowly losing to a good Dorset and Wilts team. Then of course our men topped them all playing Lancashire in the Final at Twickenham under the guidance of head coach Michael Owen. For those who have forgotten we were leading with 70 minutes played!
At the end of my article in this publication last year I posed this question, “but why are we in such good health for 2017-18?” I can pose the same question for 2018-19! I then gave a reason and that has not changed! It’s the unsung heroes of the clubs, the people who on a Saturday put the flags out, mark the pitches, make the teas for after the game, and sit on the club committees. On a Sunday they coach the youngsters, run mini and junior sections, put in many hours to make sure that the game is being taught to the next generation. If we could list them in this year book there would be hundreds of them taking many pages! The RFU have partnered with Mitsubishi to run a recognition and rewards system for volunteers. Our County’s volunteer coordinator (Mel Liley) has been encouraging clubs to fully embrace the Mitsubishi programme and get the grass roots people the reward and recognition they deserve.
So it’s upwards and onwards for Hertfordshire. 2018-19 will be another challenging season but in the end we hope that the game we all love will continue to grow. See you soon.

I am really pleased and excited to join Herts RFU, in the newly created role of Communications Director! It is a big role, but one that I am thrilled to be tasked with.
A little about me; With my rugby playing participation ending prematurely due to a persistent back injury, I have maintained a healthy interest in watching all levels of rugby over the last twenty years. Professionally, I have worked within marketing and communication for over fifteen years, enough time to know that you cannot be arrogant enough to assume you know what people want.As with most rugby folk, I love the friendships, ethics, manners and
camaraderie that the sport offers. So, as soon as my son was eligible for tag, he was introduced to the game and fortunately shares the same passion as I do, especially handing off! I have been coaching him for the past five years and take pride in the young man that he is becoming, alongside his 30+ teammates, representing the Chess Valley U12 squad.
Enough of me and back to the role. As a famous England captain once said, certain aspects of the sports hierarchy could be accused of not embracing the new directions that both rugby and society were traveling towards. I agree with Will.
We now have very diverse ways of conversing; print, websites, social media (Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest……), all have differing demographics and appeal to diverse age groups. They also constantly evolve; what was popular at the start of the season, could be completely ‘off trend’ by the end of the season. So I’d like to utilise as many communications platforms as possible, to effectively converse with all members of the rugby playing community, be they youth/mini players, colts, coaches, referees, seniors, parents, grandparents.My view of this role is pretty simple, with two main aspects. Firstly, I wish to do all I can to help maintain the current rugby public’s passion for the game, in as safe and friendly an atmosphere as is possible.
Secondly, I’d like to help in further developing and attracting additional (and returning) participation within our game, so more folk either playing, volunteering, or supporting rugby. If we could attract new participants from the breadth of society, that would be great. Gender, age, ethnicity, religion etc should in no way be a barrier to participation within our sport. One additional player would be great, but I want hundreds.
So, without reinventing the wheel, I’d very much like to develop a communications strategy that is fit for purpose and that users actually want and will use, rather than us simply prescribing what we think you want. The first task is to overhaul the website, ensuring that it is the first port of call for those wishing to know more about the game within our county, outside of their individual club.I’d very much like to get at least a couple of evangelists within each of our clubs to drive use of the website and indicate how those clubs wish to develop further interaction. Words are cheap without actions though, so if you are reading this, PLEASE spread the word that we are looking to develop a strategy that you all want and will use and that we are completely welcome to hearing your thoughts, suggestions and requests.Therefore, please feel free to get in touch, contact me directly on 07974 019069 or by email [email protected], I look forward to dealing with you over the coming year and beyond!

I have had a very challenging and interesting first year on the Herts RFU executive committee. I have learned a lot about the workings “behind the scenes” in Herts and hope to take the experience forwards and do my best to add value by streamlining some processes for the coming 2018-19 season and beyond.
For the 2017-18 season, we expect the final figures to show a break even situation. The final accounts will be processed and audited by our accountants and will be available by the December Forum Meeting.
Whilst our income remained steady, our spending was higher than usual due to the success of our squads in county competitions, including an appearance at Twickenham for the senior mens squad!
To manage the fluctuating nature of such outgoings we have decided to institute a 3-5 year plan to project and allocate our spend, being optimistic about each of our squads’ prospects in their respective competitions.
Our county reserves continue to be healthy, but we need to work hard to protect these. There are over 100 unpaid volunteers who manage, coach and administer the whole range of activities on behalf of the CB. Without their fantastic contributions we would not be where we are today.
Thank you again to our main sponsor ProCo and all the other sponsors featured in this yearbook; your support is hugely appreciated.

FINANCING THE UNION 2017/18
Hertfordshire RFU are very lucky to enjoy the generous support of companies like ProCo, BPC and Tylers. More recently Tiki Tonga and The Tring Brewery have been added to our growing
list of sponsors. Thanks also to all the advertisers that appear in this book, without all of their contributions, Herts Rugby would be struggling.
You will see from the PFR on pages 16 and 17, that for us to continue providing the level of support for clubs and players in representative rugby, we need more funding. You will be aware that the RFU is not likely to increase its level of support anytime soon, so we must find more sponsors.
Without further funding Herts Rugby will have to make cutbacks
If you have any leads or ideas on potential sponsors, please forward their details to Steve Waller, [email protected] / 07711 071727

A very exciting and busy season for the Marketing department, organising the various events throughout the season and producing programmes for our Championship teams, all culminating in that wonderful day out at Twickenham.
As always, there are many people to thank, in particular Colin Haslam (my immediate predecessor) who has assisted all along the way and David Williams for his incisive reports and input during the season.Back in March, we enjoyed another evening at Porter’s Park Golf Club for the annual members dinner, the food again was excellent and we were entertained by ex-Irish International Mickey Quinn, thanks to John Atkinson for all his hard work in assembling and organising the evening.
Preceding the County Championship match against Cornwall at Bishop’s Stortford, Mark Elliott once again organised a wonderful supporters lunch, once suitably lubricated, the crowd roared on our boys to victory.
Once the season had finished, we got together again at the annual Golf Day, held at the wonderful East Herts Golf Club. This year, regular contenders Stevenage Town RFC walked away with first prize, thanks again to Colin for his help and in particular Les and Maureen Clark who do such a great job putting this tournament together.
We say goodbye and thank you to Brian Burke as Membership secretary and International ticket secretary, Brian is off to enjoy married life, he has handed over to Simon Embleton.Thanks too, to Adam Howard and Chris Pike who have helped with social media and facebook entries.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to fund all the activities, programmes and teams listed on the PFR, donations from Sponsors and Advertisers have become more and more important, we are very grateful to all those who have contributed over the years, it is vital that we attract some more funding from this source, if we are to carry on at the same levels.
ProCo continue to support and help to produce and send out a massive amount of literature, from this Yearbook to all the match day programmes (8 last season), the Dinner menus, the About Herts newsletters, Golf score cards, Merit Table posters and so on. Thanks to Giles Bowes and his team at ProCo for all their hard work and support throughout the year.
BPC joined us for their first (and we hope of many) season and sponsored the County Championship Match day shorts (Men, Women and U20’s). They also supported the Members Dinner and the Golf Day, sponsoring the event and supplying some great prizes. Steve Blight is a true sports enthusiast who also enjoys football and golf, it’s great to have him on board.Tiki Tonga Coffee were also new to us last season, Justin Stockwell and Brad Barritt’s Coffee Company sponsored all the Match balls for the County Championship matches and the Presidents Cup Finals.
The BOBs (the Bull Old Boys, a group of regulars at The Bull in Gosmore), have been coming to watch games all across the County for years. They also enjoy the Championship matches and sponsored the Supporters lunch before the Cornwall game, I hope they become a regular feature.Thanks also to all our advertisers in this Yearbook.Every bit helps us to achieve the targets that are set on the PFR, however, it is becoming increasingly difficult and subsequently, we might have to consider cutbacks.It is imperative that we find more sponsors to help us through the season, if you are aware of anyone who might be able to help us, please pass on their details.

ProCo MD Giles Bowes says “We really do enjoy working with Herts RFU and find our relationship mutually beneficial in so many ways. Helping them extend their reach and communicate to their wide and varied audience is where we can
add real value. In return, we have been grateful to them for allowing us to connect with many new people and extend the ProCo brand into the South East.”

I think it’s fair to say that the performance of the England men’s senior side was very disappointing achieving fifth place in six nations. The next season sees the Autumn Internationals, the six nations and the Rugby World Cup. all these competitions and matches are critical for rugby and the profile of rugby in England but also of the RFU, it’s critical we have a successful world cup! The other performances from the other sides were good, with the senior women reaching a RWC final together losing to New Zealand, with the Men’s Under 20 side losing to a very good French team. I think the whole rugby nation will be watching the autumn internationals and the six nations with extra focus! I know at Twickenham serious questions are being asked about the performance of the senior men’s side. We are all looking for an improved performance both on
the pitch and out off the pitch.
The recent financial performance of the RFU has been subject to intense media coverage, which I don’t want to repeat here, but please be assured that myself and my fellow RFU Council members are very concerned about the cuts to the Community Rugby Department and I am working with the staff at Twickenham to ensure we do not see any drop in the activities of the staff in our CB, and that it does not lead to extra load on the club and CB volunteer. More details will come out on this work as it progresses.
Within Herts I am proud to say we are performing well, we have now two new Artificial Grass Pitches (AGP’s) in Hertfordshire, Cheshunt and Harpenden have them now available for use by all clubs in the CB. There are new floodlights at Royston and Bishop’s Stortford, there has been a re-build of Fullerians club house, and a very successful Nat West Rugby weekend, and many more improvements to the club houses and pitches within the CB. The number of matches played across the CB has increased for the season 2017/18 compared to the previous season. We within the CB are trying new formats for when matches are played, the use of the AGP’s will be key to this format.As part of our delivery plan for the CB Tim Bonnett and I designed a survey that went out to all clubs and schools across the CB. The survey asked nine questions that helped us plan for the next season’s development and delivery activity. We had 161 responses, which was good, where we had good feedback. This feedback was shared with the clubs on the 16th July, where the plan was approved by all attendees. The top level results from the survey, the actions undertaken and the final version of the delivery plan is shown on page 18 of this handbook. The plan is reviewed every month by the CB Executive and any adjustments made as a result of progress.
As part of my role at Council I am chair of the club and CB Development sub-committee, our role is to help identify and put in place schemes, ideas and projects to improve the clubs and CBs in all the different areas of running a club and CB. With the cutbacks taking place at Twickenham, the role and output of this committee is even more important. So please if you have some ideas about what needs to change across the club and CB management, let me know!
I would like to thank all the CB Executive members for their help and support and also to all club members and officials I have met and worked with over the last year.
I will be out visiting and talking to as many clubs as I can during the season, usually twice a week. But in the meantime please contact me if you have any concerns, questions regarding the game or matters of importance for your club, either by phone or e-mail. I wish all clubs, players, coaches, referees, parents of players and volunteers all the best in the new season.
Best Wishes

The background to the need for the survey was that the CB Executive wanted to understand what matters to the clubs in terms of support and assistance to the clubs. The survey was designed with a format that tried to make it easy to fill in and was sent out to all clubs and schools during March 2018. Nine questions asked. Answers aimed at improving the Hertfordshire CB Executive planning and activities, providing an input into the 2018/19 development plan, there were 161 responses from 19 clubs and unknown from clubs and schools, (no text was entered that could be identified what club and school the survey was sent in from).Four main themes have emerged from the results, these were:
• Communication – lack of communication from the CB, lack of awareness of the CB and the activities carried out
• Development – CB Leaders/Succession from a club perspective Leaders/process/planning together with Officials and coaches/refs
• Facilities – Clubs focus on pitches, 3G, Lights, Drainage. Lack of awareness of the process for clubs to bid for funding
• Recruitment of players, player development and more matches required.
As a result of the survey the following actions have been undertaken by the executive and the development plan amended as a result of the survey. Pages 16 & 17 show the agreed development plan.The results from the survey and the plan were shared with the clubs recently (16th July), with no objections.
Actions undertaken by the executive committee • New CB Executive structure introduced with Director of Communications and Director of Club Development introduced alongside Director of Age Grade Rugby, Director of Game Development and Director of Rugby posts. – Completed
• Annual development plan (PFR) report complied with an easier to read format aimed at improving the understanding and communication of the PFR. – Completed
• More focus and therefore funding available to fund club grants, more usage of the two AGP’s,
• Leadership Academy is being run as support to clubs. – Invites sent out to all clubs
• Introduction of girls/women group focused on developing the women’s game – New group set up
• Sharing of the results, actions undertaken and PFR with the clubs
• Regular updates on progress to be given

Looking back at the season of representative rugby, its been one of continued success.
Our new coaching team of Michael Owen, Brett McNamee, Jimmy Tirrell & Rich Hoskins took the Mens XV all the way to the ‘Bill Beaumont’ county championship cup final at Twickenham.
We had Tom Banks (Bishop’s Stortford), Rob Conquest (Cambridge), Karl Garside (Ampthill), Sean Taylor (Hertford) and Dan Watt (OAs) go on
and represent England Counties and all played key parts in the a successful tour to Romania.
Our Womens XV welcomed Rich Hoskins and Matt Finn into the coaching team, joining Grant Hathaway, David Paine and Ben Creasey. Our ladies had 2 long away trips in their county championship and just missed out on a semi final spot when they lost to Dorset & Wilts.
The U20’s coaching team of Paul Jelski, Ash Walsh, Bob Graham, Carl Bradshaw & Karl Garside took our U20’s XV all the way to the semi finals of the ‘Jason Leonard’ county championship unfortunately losing to a very good Yorkshire at Doncaster Knights RFC.
Our prop forward Seb Brownhill (Bishop’s Stortford) went onto earn his England Counties U20’s cap, representing them in their tour to Georgia. We also had Dan Hood (Hertford) selected to represent Hong Kong U20’s in the Rugby World Cup U20’s Trophy in Romania.
At U18 Boys level, we had the largest contingent of Hertfordshire players selected to to represent London & SE Division and from that we had Oliver Moody (Haileybury/OAs) and Luke Boucher (Oaklands College) go on to represent England Counties at U18 level.
Changes to the womens & girls programme meant that we had 13 girls selected into the U18 Centre of Excellence delivered by Saracens Ladies. The recent news saw a number of former Herts girls selected to represent England U20’s in their upcoming tour.Next season sees a new women & girls player pathway at U15 and U18 age groups. Hertfordshire are grouped with Essex & Middlesex and will play a number of festivals that will be a 15 a side game, 7’s and the new X 7’s taking place on the same day.
The Saracens Herts Developing Player Programme reached out to over 400 players at U13’s through to U16’s.
All these successes could not be achieved if we did not have an enthusiastic, committed army of volunteers who coach, manage and fix these guys & girls week in, week out. I can’t thank you enough for all the time you give up to support these players. It is truly appreciated.
I must thank my fellow executive members and past presidents who have supported me this season off the pitch as well as on the sidelines. Their knowledge and enthusiasm do not go unnoticed.

What a fantastic year it has been for youth rugby in Hertfordshire! The growth in player numbers has continued at most clubs due to the efforts of all to provide a quality, safe and welcoming rugby environment. There have been areas of particular growth with the girls offer increasing hugely from about 5 clubs with viable numbers to 12 clubs with a firmly established offer. Whilst this has been partly a product of Hertfordshire RFU investment and RFU professional staff time, enthusiastic volunteers really getting stuck in to make a quality girls offer available have mostly achieved it. The Inner Warrior initiative has helped and the number of
Hertfordshire players that have achieved full England (and other nation) international offers all help. Pleasingly, it has also been tied in with parallel growth in Women’s teams so there is a clear journey in rugby for girls. We even have a former England women’s international player Hannah Gallagher as overall club head coach at Royston. This all shows how the game is growing rapidly away from the adult male 15-a-side Saturday game as the sole offer. There is now a Women and Girls County Forum chaired by Alban Barnes to co-ordinate and drive this growth in a cohesive way.
Equally pleasing for me has been the positive Hertfordshire response to Project Rugby – a mixed ability rugby offer promoted with the support of Saracens Sports Foundation. Hertfordshire RFU have long been proud of the achievements of Letchworth Braveherts team, but it is wonderful to have a multi-club tournament for the first time hosted at Allianz Park. Some of the players whose initial encounter with rugby was through Project Rugby are now being carefully supported to play with all ability adult teams. This promotion of equity and inclusion –

I must thank Haileybury College, Hertford RFC, Hemel Hempstead RFC, Bishop’s Stortford RFC, Cheshunt RFC & St Albans RFC for allowing the county squads use of your club facilities for training and match days. These clubs and schools have ensured that we had all that we needed to ensure our players had the best experience possible.
Last but not least, a huge thanks goes to all the parents, family,wives,girlfirends,husbands, boyfriends who support our players by being there for them. You all willingly make sacrifices so they can play representative rugby for Hertfordshire and I thank you for that.
As for next season, it will bring fresh challenges as we await the RFU decision on whether there will be a county championship and what impact their recent review will have on all the representative rugby player pathways.Financially as a county, we have to balance the books whilst we have no main sponsor wanting to invest in our player pathways in representative rugby.

celebrating the ability, not the disability – is absolutely wonderful to see. I have had a number of fun nights assisting with coaching and seeing the joy Project Rugby has brought to these players.
Looking ahead to the new season, there is a significant change in operating practice for players up to under 18 age group in English schools and clubs. The change is known as the Half Game Rule. To be precise, the Rule is not part of Regulation 15 but Guidance on good practice. However all clubs and schools are expected to adhere to the principle. The principle is that every child in an under 18 or below match day squad should get the opportunity to have at least 50% of the game time available. This does not have to be in one block; it can be by rolling substitutions. It also will not apply if the player in injured or there is a concussion concern. The reason for the Guidance is that all research overwhelmingly shows that children stay attached through rugby if they are given the opportunity to play as much as possible. It is also intended to deter coaches from ‘picking to win’ and putting team results above player development. The ethos must be: Player Centred – Development Driven – Competition Supported.
It has been a challenging year for sport due to the high profile child abuse cases involving sports coaches (including a rugby coach). It was good to see in the club survey responses that safeguarding was seen as the highest rated thing that Hertfordshire RFU do well. It is important to remember that safeguarding is not about political correctness or bureaucracy, it is about creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere for children at rugby clubs. In the coming season, Hertfordshire RFU will be investing in increasing the numbers receiving safeguarding training. This is essential in the current sporting climate – particularly as two clubs have had to deal with the impact of volunteers at their club being arrested on child protection matters. It is important to bear in mind that this is not an indication of failure of safeguarding but that robust monitoring is in place so that bad actors are identified and suitably dealt with in liaison with the statutory agencies.
With the new Executive structure, there is now a clear coordination of all activity aimed at growing the future of rugby, players at clubs and schools who are under 18. In my Director role I will work closely with the Player Development and Club Development leads to work actively on maximizing the number of players who start playing at 6 and are still playing at 26. Having been involved for about 25 years in Youth rugby, it is wonderful to see the number of young players who have played for Hertfordshire in age group teams who are now stalwarts of club First XVs at the highest levels. I even have a player I coached whose grandchild is now starting rugby. The young players are the game’s future. I am so proud to see how youth rugby has grown and I am even more grateful for the army of wonderfully committed volunteers at clubs who have made this happen. I try to be as supportive as possible, but if anyone needs particular help or support, do feel free to contact me on [email protected] or 07860 538823.

Following a reorganisation of the Herts Rugby Executive structure, I was delighted to be appointed by the clubs at the Herts AGM to role of Director of Game Development. In this newly named role, I will continue to take responsibility for the men’s and women’s adult game in Herts and to work closely with Tim Bonnett who retains responsibility for the age grade part of the game.
My role continues to be to act as the point of contact between the Herts clubs and the Herts Rugby Executive with the aim of ensuring that the clubs are receiving whatever support is available in terms of improving playing and social facilities, retaining and recruiting players, recruiting and rewarding volunteers, developing management structures and accessing RFU finance (although resources are of
course limited). I will also be working with the rest of the Herts Executive to maximise the opportunities for all forms of the game, including 7s and touch rugby.
I am very pleased that Tom Redfern, the Herts Rugby Development Officer, will be continuing his excellent work in player recruitment and retention via midweek social and veterans rugby sessions, pre season womens and girls tournaments, the introduction of a Merit Table competition for the emerging womens’ teams and many other initiatives.
I have taken over responsibility for Chairing the Competitions Committee – my thanks and those of everyone in Herts rugby should go to Jon Clapham for his work in organising competitions for many years and to Nikita Jackson who did such sterling work over the last two seasons after stepping into Jon’s role.
The number of adult matches that are called off because of player availability issues remains a concern, not just in Herts but throughout the country. Geographical issues have led 24 of the Lancashire clubs to break away from the RFU leagues and set up their own Merit Tables competition with a view to encouraging greater player availability by cutting down travel time and distance and arranging more local derbies. We are perhaps fortunate that Herts is one of the smaller Counties from a geographical point of view. However, competing demands for people’s leisure time, pressures of work and concerns about injury are all factors which need to be taken into account when we look at ways in which the Herts clubs can retain and hopefully expand their player and coaching base and maximise playing time.
The Herts Merit Table organisers have addressed this issue by regionalising Merit Tables 4 and 5 for the 2018/19, dividing the County geographically into 2 groups to reduce travel and encourage local rivalries. This initiative together with the encouragement to the clubs to consider flexibility in playing days and times (and to take advantage of the new AGPs at Cheshunt and Harpenden) is bound to help.
Finally, I remain the point of contact between the Herts Executive and the Herts Referees Society where I remain an active member of the training team. The Society’s training team is continuing to look closely at ways in which they can encourage the development of new referees and to develop their referees at all levels, with the aim of making sure that every game in Herts has the benefit of a suitably qualified and experienced referee. I will be making sure that this initiative has the benefit of whatever organisational and financial support is available.
I look forward to meeting as many players, coaches, administrators and supporters as possible during the course of the next 12 months.
I hope that anyone who needs to talk to me about anything to do with any form of adult rugby will get in touch with me on [email protected] or 07743 824230.

Having taken over responsibility for chairing the Competitions Sub-Committee, I should start this report by expressing my thanks and those of everyone in Herts rugby to Jon Clapham for his work in organising the competitions for many years and to Nikita Jackson who did such sterling work over the last two seasons after stepping into Jon’s role.
Plenty of comment has been made in recent times about the number of adult matches that were called off during 2017/18 because of player availability issues. However, the enthusiasm with which all of the Herts clubs approached the various competitions shows that there are substantial grounds for optimism about the health of the game in Hertfordshire.
Congratulations should go to Bishop’s Stortford for achieving a very creditable 7th place finish in their first season in National 1, to Hertford and Tring who ran the promoted sites very close indeed in National 3, to Harpenden who were denied promotion to London 1 only by reason of having won one game fewer than the team above them and to Royston for achieving promotion from Herts Middx 1 into London 3. The County Cup finals day was once again held at Saracens home ground and attracted a very good crowd to Allianz Park.
Bishop’s Stortford 2nds won their 3rd Presidents Cup final in a row as they eventually saw off an almighty performance by Fullerians, Stortford scoring the only try of the game to run out 8-3 winners. Hemel Hempstead won the Presidents Tankard in a high scoring affair against Datchworth. Whilst the two teams were separated by a league in their normal season, the game was close for large parts as an in form Datchworth team put in a huge shift. In the end, Hemel’s ability to score proved too much as they ran out victors. The Trophy final saw Royston cap an excellent season by securing victory over a very competitive Barnet Elizabethans side.
In 2018/19 the Presidents Cup will be contested by Fullerians 1s, Old Albanians 2s, Tring 2s and Hertford 2s. The Presidents Tankard will be open to all level 7 and 8 clubs in the County while the Presidents Trophy will remain a competition for all other Herts clubs. In a change of venue, the County Cup finals day will move to Harpenden RFC on Sunday 28th April 2019 in order to use both the new artificial pitch and Harpenden’s excellent other facilities.
The Herts Middx Merit Tables continued to provide competitive rugby of a high quality for so many community rugby players. Everyone who participates in the Merit Tables will want to join me in expressing our appreciation to Fred McCarthy for the huge amount of work that he has done over the years and to thank Foggy Atkinson and his team for their continued efforts. A proposal to create a London wide ‘super’ Merit Table eventually came to nothing and so we are pleased that teams such as Bedford Athletic, Ampthill and Bishop’s Stortford continue to participate in the Herts Middx Merit Tables. Last season saw Ampthill 3s, Ampthill 4s, Hatfield, Old Grammarians, Cuffley, Hemel and Letchworth win their Merit Tables. An honourable mention should go to Bishop’s Stortford 4ths for achieving a 3rd promotion in a row, but being required by the rules to remain in Table 2 next season because their 3rd team play in Table 1.
The Merit Tables Finals events at Letchworth and Saracens Amateurs saw wins in the Cup and Plate finals for Hertford, Ampthill, Tabard, Hitchin, Bishop’s Stortford and Fullerians. For 2018/19, the Merit Table organisers have addressed the issue of player availability by regionalising Merit Tables 4 and dividing the County geographically into 2 groups to reduce travel and encourage local derbies. This initiative together with the encouragement to the clubs to consider flexibility in playing days and times and to take advantage of the new AGPs at Cheshunt and Harpenden is bound to help. Finally, it only remains for me to wish every team in Herts and enjoyable and successful 2018/19 season.

DIRECTOR OF CLUB DEVELOPMENT REPORT
2017/2018 has been a great season for Hertfordshire RFU facilities investment. It is probably one of our largest investments for its clubs in a season and the best since I have been Facilities & Funding Co-ordinator; 2 AGP’s, 2 clubs with capital awards, Natwest RugbyForce, RFU loans, pitch maintenance awards and some match funding. In addition, there have been Sports England awards and local authority awards.
I am firstly very excited with the Rugby 365 initiative with the AGPs. The RFU construction investment is an average of £750k per pitch. Our CB was lucky enough to not only get allocated 2 pitches, but both were awarded in the early waves of rollout and are among the first 20 in the country.
The Cheshunt pitch was completed in March this year after a few delays due to weather and other factors. The official opening in April with Eddie Jones taking a masterclass shows the support from the RFU for this programme.
Construction of the second pitch at Harpenden started just at the end of the season in April. At the time of writing, progress it good, and it is almost ready to receive the surface finish. It should be ready for the beginning of the season and will be shown off at their Pub Sevens.The use at Cheshunt has already been good and I think anyone who has attended or played at the end of season county matches will agree what a superb facility it is.We had two clubs receiving RFU capital awards for developments; Fullerians and Bishop’s Stortford. Fullerians club house rebuild is funded by an RFU grant, RFU interest free loan, Watford Borough Council grant, Sport England grant and club fund raising. This is an excellent example of fund raising and managing all sources of funding that can be available.Bishop’s Stortford now have new floodlights on their first team pitch which was funded by RFU grant and club funds.
I will also mention the new club house at Cheshunt which opened in October last year, where much of the funding was from local housing development planning gain, but they also took a RFU loan.In April, Keith Kent (Twickenham head groundsman) visited two clubs (Verulamians & Hemel Hempstead) and looked at the pitches, gave advice and provided a report on what should be done to improve the grass coverage, root growth and strength. In recognition of the report and potential cost, Hertfordshire RFU have awarded grants of £2,000 to each towards their maintenance cost. With this added to normal budget costs, it allows them to follow much of Keith’s recommendations.Following Keith’s visits, Hertfordshire RFU also awarded grants of £750 to another 14 clubs, to allow them to have useful work carried out by a RFU contractor.
June saw the annual NatWest RugbyForce programme. This year it was not only for facilities DIY, but also community development. 6 clubs were awarded the NatWest funding of £750. Hertfordshire RFU also awarded a consolation grant of £200 to 5 of the remaining clubs that registered who had strong bids. I visited all clubs taking part, (and still have some community events to attend that will happen at the beginning of the season) and was impressed by the spirit and number of volunteers getting involved. The good thing was that all sections of the clubs got involved and worked together, creating the one club atmosphere that NatWest were looking to achieve.
It’s been a good year for our clubs, and I hope it continues over the next season.From a personnel perspective, I am delighted to have been elected to the Executive as our first Director of Club Development following the restructure and look forward to working with you.

I very much like the above cartoon as it really describes my role within the Hertfordshire CB. My role is very much about ensuring that we work together with all stakeholders to ensure that we leave the game in a better shape by finding innovative ways of doing more of the things that really matter with less. I am very fortunate to have been asked to support the Hertfordshire CB Executive Committee at a time when our game needs, more than ever, Strong Leadership at all levels both on and off the grass. It is vital that we understand fully what is required for our game to grow and continue to flourish at all levels.
David Roberts and Tim Bonnett carefully designed a survey that was sent out to the clubs to try to understand the CB/Club relationship and needs, this data is to be shared with the clubs and some specific programmes and activities designed and delivered to meet those qualified requirements. This is an ongoing process and the survey will be repeated annually to ensure that we are all aware of the constantly changing landscape of the game. This should give us real clarity in answering the questions below. (I would encourage all who read this to take the opportunity to input into this process, your views do matter.)
I was fortunate enough to be invited to attend a planning meeting with David Toon (Director of Representative Rugby) and the Saracens Academy Director and Senior coaches, I can assure you that all parties are well aligned and looking forward to a great development season for our young and rising stars of the game.
What is it that our clubs require from their Constituent Body in order to support their future plans?What does Success look like?
The Executive Committee is full of very talented Volunteers who have excellent knowledge and expertise in their particular fields and devote a huge amount of time, energy and passion into performing their roles and supporting the clubs. I have been and continue to be amazed at the time and effort that individuals (all volunteers) are prepared to give to ensure that our game functions.
I have to say that I was disappointed by the attendance and club representation at the AGM. What do we do to change this and make it a representative forum? Any ideas welcomed. The way forward is for the Hertfordshire clubs to work with the Hertfordshire Constituent Body and together for us to be the best that we can be by utilising the resources that are available to us.
Mark Thompson is also new into role as Communications Director and he brings a wealth of experience and many ideas for us to achieve the above watch out for the newsletters, attend the forums and answer the questionnaire. We can then move forward together.

RDO’S REPORT
We are now at the end of 2017/18 and it is safe to say that it is going too quickly. With a blink of an eye I find myself looking forward to the next Rugby World Cup in Japan and now have a full season as the Rugby Development Officer for Hertfordshire under my belt. Where has time gone? Whilst the Mens team had a disappointing six nations campaign finishing 5th there has been plenty to cheer about for our national teams. Our Red Roses having yet another successful year alongside our 7s teams and U20s all excelling!
Hertfordshire continues to strive again at the community level! We have seen some great work at Hemel Hempstead, Hitchin & Fullerians who have consistently got a Vets team out this season. We have also seen Barnet Elizabethans doing some great work to transition their U18s to start the growth of their 3rd XV this season whilst Old Albanians RFC and Rob Fenton have been doing some similar work. A special mention to our smaller clubs who often find it more challenging but hats off to Tabard, Chess Valley and Hatfield have managed to get their 2nd XV’s out again this season.
The Women and Girls game this year has grown incredibly with Welwyn, Harpenden, OA’s and Hitchin all running ‘full houses’. We have seen Cheshunt and Fullerians start women’s teams this year who have played at a number of the RFU’s XRugby 7s events but are now playing their own 15-a-side fixtures. We have also seen the likes of Royston, Bishop’s Stortford and Hitchin grow in numbers with a view of running “Women’s development teams” in the future. The girls game continues to grow with Letchworth/Royston, Bishop’s Stortford, Datchworth, Fullerians and Stevenage all offering Girls Rugby to its community and membership. To support the Women and Girls Game and to ensure it is aligned with Hertfordshire RFU there will now be a women and girls sub-committee group to offer direct support and communication to the CB and clubs. Part of this group will deliver a Hertfordshire Merit Table for women’s teams to get more games played and support new players and teams to play in a safe and competitive environment.
We have been working with a number of clubs over the last year with their facility projects to grow and sustain the game. We have seen Royston and Bishop’s Stortford deliver exciting projects to construct new floodlights at their clubs. For Royston in particular this a great change where they were previously training under car lights. We have also seen Letchworth RFC benefit from securing local grants and RFU funding to support them with their pitch maintenance and equipment. Keith Kent once again paid a visit to Hertfordshire where he visited Verulamians RFC & Hemel Hempstead (Camelot) RFC to provide pitch maintenance support. In June we will also see six Hertfordshire Clubs deliver their annual Natwest Rugby Force Weekends to improve their facilities and engage with their local communities. Thank you to Datchworth for hosting our workshop in March where lots of ideas and projects were shared amongst the clubs. Thank you to Hertfordshire RFU that supported the non-successful Natwest Rugby Force applications to deliver their projects as well as supporting nine clubs with their summer pitch maintenance programs. Moving forward we have Fullerians RFC build their new clubhouse over the summer and the Harpenden AGP will be completed in July ready for usage. With lots of facility developments going on across the county it means we have an exciting time ahead where we have the perfect opportunity to improve the Rugby experience for all.

The Game Management System continues to be the hub for data collection and communication for the RFU and the clubs. Thank you to Welwyn RFC who hosted a number of workshops this year. It is a vital tool and we will continue to use GMS to justify where to put investment across the country.O2 Touch continues to grow across the country and in Hertfordshire. Watford, Stevenage and Welwyn continue to deliver their O2 Touch programs all year round. We have also seen Hertfordshire Regional College set up their O2 Touch Centre working together with Cheshunt RFC to co-deliver this.
As always, coaching delivery by RFU Community Rugby Coaches forms an essential part of our engagement with all clubs, and the efforts from Harry Harrison and Tom Mowbray have led to more children playing rugby in schools. An example of this is seeing over 800 Girls playing at our Schools Festivals in March hosted by Hertford RFC. Their work involves late nights at training, early morning in schools and constant flexibility to provide excellent playing opportunities across the county, being new to the role they have been a joy to work with. Harry and Tom will continue to work with clubs by
running localised school festivals, the colts under lights events, the returning students event, midweek mens social rugby and more provision for Vets Rugby.
Although there are lots of successes this year there continues to be a number of cancellations in the Merit Tables in the mens game. This will be one our main focuses going forward but what are we currently doing as clubs to recruit, retain and develop our players to get more games played?

THANK YOU HARRY ……… WELCOME SAM
Season 2018-19 in Hertfordshire RFU brings a fond farewell to a magnificent rugby servant to the County but also a welcoming hello to a returning rugby face.
The farewell is to Michael – Harry – Harrison our Community Rugby Coach for the last 10 years. He has used the changes at Rugby House as an opportunity and has taken the decision to leave the CB Delivery Team. Having known and worked with Harry over many years, it is difficult to remember all of the amazing things he has done in rugby in the County. I would imagine almost every Hertfordshire club or school player under 30 has been coached by Harry or been coached by someone who has been tutored by Harry or played in a game refereed by someone trained by Harry. His years as lead coach for the
Developing Player Programme – then known as the School of Rugby – started the elite careers of many Saracens and Hertfordshire Representative players. His energy, enthusiasm and innovation made working with him as the DPP Manager a doddle. Harry kept me on my toes because he has always demanded high standards and that was what was achieved – recognition as one of England’s flagship development programmes. But this was just one small part of his influence in the County. He has trained coaches and referees all round the County and London area. He has started and maintained school competitions to build rugby opportunities for young players that have massively increased participation numbers. He has built girls rugby opportunities for schools, running an annual festival that just grows and grows. Every aspect of rugby that is growing in Hertfordshire has had the idea seeded or momentum sustained by Harry’s work.
What is great about all of this is that it has not been achieved by bombast or pushiness. That is not Harry’s style. He makes promises and he keeps them. He ensures success by unstinting hard work. He challenges bad practice and encourages everyone he works with to be a better person as well as a better rugby player, coach or referee. Everything he has done at his club, in the County and for the RFU has been the embodiment of Rugby’s Core Values – Teamwork – Respect – Enjoyment – Discipline and Sportsmanship. Hopefully he will be unable to keep himself from still being a visible force for good in the Hertfordshire rugby world. He will be missed but everything he has achieved, he has built on such strong foundations that the great work he has started and sustained will go on. He will be greatly missed in his role but we wish him all the very best for whatever the future holds for him.
The good news is that Harry’s departure has left a vacancy into which a local rugby man Sam Clapham can step. Sam lives in Tring and has played for local clubs and Representative sides over the years. He has recently been part of the East Midlands Delivery Team but welcomes the chance to return to his roots and join Tom Redfern and Tom Mowbray in the Hertfordshire Delivery Team. He has some big boots to fill but, having worked with Sam over the years, I know that he will bring energy, ideas and commitment to the Community Rugby Coach role. Hertfordshire will be just as strong in developing rugby with the new team to support us.

Ahead of last season the main objective and task I was set by Paul Jelski and the coaching team was to bring together and put in front of them a large squad of exceptional players and then do whatever it took to ensure we light a fire and keep it burning. Very fortunate to have already inherited a solid core base of around 14 players from previous season so with engaging these guys to contact and continuously put the word out I then got busy systematically going through the Herts Player contacts and databases plus had a list of Paul’s targets. Also had great help and support from everyone that I asked in the Herts rugby fraternity especially from David Toon, Harry Harrison and the Herts U18s squad manager Nick Fitt. They provided me the names and insights to players on their radar and just wanted to ensure that as many of these younger upcoming players were always invited and involved to all of the Stags training sessions and by doing so we had a larger wider squad- a great talent pool to work with and choose from. Pleased to say this indeed worked very well for us which meant Paul with his coaching team could just get on with delivering excellent sessions and bringing out the best of all of our Herts boys.
Very pleased that for all of the effort that was put in by everyone involved huge allround improvements were certainly achieved, 9 x players selected to the SE division and with 2 of our forwards going on to represent England Counties (Seb Brownhill) and Hong Kong! (Dan Hood)
But I’d say the most pleasing thing for me is that everyone that got themselves involved supported one another and all of of our Herts Stags players showed they have a very real sense of belonging with immense respect for each other, definitely made great memories and friendships had themselves a truly great rugby experience and certainly did themselves and all of us at Herts very proud.

Michael Owen’s County Championship review
The senior side enjoyed an outstanding season finishing as runners up to Lancashire. The campaign started with an excellent performance against Surrey at Cheshunt. There were some outstanding performances and the bench had a significant impact as Herts overpowered Surrey to run out winners by 59-21.There were outstanding performances from captain Tom Banks, Chris West at number 8 and Sean Taylor at full back. There were big impacts from Ben Creasey, Jack Scantlebury and Luke Barber. Herts looked like a team with plenty of firepower and a high tempo approach. The trip that we felt would define the campaign was the trip to Gloucester. In an almost faultless display Herts were on top and leading 24-14 with 10 to go. Somehow the home team found the reserves to come through with two late tries. Outstanding for Herts were Sean Taylor and Nick Radley.A complete team performance against Cornwall at Stortford led to a record win 51-0 against our vaunted opponents. Young Steff Jones played himself to a standstill and was replaced early in the second half by the exemplary Ollie Walliker to put Cornwall to the sword. This was an excellent performance and one which gave Herts a chance of getting to the final if results went their way. News came through that Gloucester had lost at Surrey. This meant Herts were on their way to Twickenham.
In a tough final against perrenial winners Lancashire, Herts came up just short going down, 32-16.The chances were there but we just weren’t able to execute against an experienced Lancashire outfit.A great season for Herts with a consistent and committed group of players showing what outstanding talent is available within the County. Ollie Walliker showed what a top class player he is. The emergence of Tring duo Harry Green and Nick Radley was a huge positive as was the continued excellence of Tom Banks and Sean Taylor. They will be looking to go one better next year and win the County Championship for the second time in their history. If they can get more of the top players available to play then that is a very real possibility.

GILL BURNS COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP REVIEW
The 2018 Gill Burns County Championship promised to be another progression for the Womens game in Hertfordshire and it proved to be the case. Every year we have to find our feet again as a group and quite unhelpfully the schedule of games doesn’t help in some ways. But we look to control what we can, which is our environment and approach to the games.
Continued support and drive from the CB allows us to flourish and provide an offer for players, coaches and support staff that is setting standards compared to that of our opposition and many others across the region, which we are all truly grateful for. We endeavour to repay this support by the way we prepare and play, with considerable time and energy given by everyone to put on some incredibly exciting performances and play in this year’s Championship.
The group tried to play with great expression and flow in attack, combined with sheer ferocity in defence and this was certainly achieved in large spells. This led to two fantastic results against our west country opponents Cornwall and Somerset, where both of these components were seen in abundance. Our loss came against Dorset & Wilts away where we seemed unable to get or keep the ball, but when we did we scored and made attack look easy. For the 80%+ possession they enjoyed, they also received a physcial contest that they hadn’t expected and as with all of our opposition, made comment on how committed we were and the soreness they felt after playing against us!
This full commitment was sadly not rewarded with an opportunity to play in the knockout stages of the competition which just eluded us again this year. This leaves us all in a place of reflection and planning for next year already to have greater success on field.
But every year this group gets tighter and the ‘club feel’ we want increases. We have now built a core group of players who lead the group and new players join us every year to increase the standard at which we play but importantly, the social element too. Friendships are a key part of what allows the team to play as they do and we have seen evidence of this galvanising effect during the Championship and since, with the connection between players.
Now we truly have somewhere for aspirational players in the Herts W+G pathway to work towards and we hope that more players will look to come along to next year’s open sessions and push to wear the green shirt. It has been proven the door is open with the new caps this year and players and coaches should be aware that with more clubs and players engaged every year, the benefits of a connected development pathway should start to be seen so we hope that we will have a blend of new young talent coming through from the Girls sections across the
county and in representative programme, as well as new adult players that we have seen this year.
The senior women’s side is now in a great position to push for the success on field everyone deserves next year - we invite everyone to get involved and enjoy that success with us.
Grant Hathaway, Head Coach Hertfordshire Women.

The Hertfordshire Disciplinary Panels sat on a total of 14 hearings dealing with 24 cases with 1 case still outstanding due to a police investigation. This a reduction of 4 cases on last season’s total. Of these cases 22 were admitted, 2 not admitted with 1 case being dismissed.
You will see from below that the figures add up to 25, this is because 2 charges were made against one person.
The breakdown of offences are as follows;
Punch or Strike 4 cases
Strike with the head 2 cases
Strike with the elbow 2 cases
Stamp or Trample 1 caseDangerous Tackle 2 cases
Tip Tackle 3 casesVerbal Abuse of Match Official 3 casesVerbal Abuse 2 cases (RFU regulation 5.12)Physical Abuse Match Official 1 case (RFU Regulation 5.12)Dangerous Play 3 cases
2 yellow Cards in a match 2 cases
The panel members this season were, John KNIGHTON, Chairman of the Disciplinary Panel, Adrian SPARKS, Jeremy GILLHAM (Panel Chairmen), Colin HASLAM, Malcolm TUCKER, Tim MILLNER, David ROBERTS, Ian TOTTMAN (Youth Discipline Secretary), Melanie LILEY and Mike TUTTY. We welcomed Mel and Mike as new panellists this season. The new season will see Richard MILNES added to our numbers.
Once again I thank the panel members for their continued dedication, knowledge and flexibility in dealing with the law changes introduced in January and keeping the laws of our game upheld. The new season will see a number of new offences added to the table which will once again put our panel members to the test.
Finally it is with great sadness that I have to report that Jeff BYRNE, who sat as a chairman and panellist for many years sadly lost a lengthy battle with cancer. He will be sorely missed.
The panel is always looking for new members, anyone needing further information please don’t hesitate to give me a call.

What a sweltering and gorgeous day we had once again at Hamels Park home of East Herts Golf Club. Normal date, first Friday in July, 13 x teams of four participated for the Herts RFU Golf Trophy on this wonderful parkland course which is also the home course of our event sponsor Steve Blight of BPC.
Three clubs, Bishop’s Stortford, Hemel Hempstead and Letchworth entered two teams with Tylers Sportswear, Old Albanian, St Albans, Cheshunt, Hatfield, Hertford and last but not least Stevenage, unfortunately our sponsor for this annual event had a clash of dates so couldn’t take part. However the first and second team prizes were very generously donated by them and we sincerely thank them for all their support as we do also Tylers for providing the third team prizes.Stevenage may have been the last four ball to tee off but it did not stop these great supporters of our Annual Golf Day building up a massive score of 98 points (the format being Stableford, best two scores to count) Tylers came in with a very handsome score of 89 just pipping Letchworth ‘B’ team with 88 points to take second. Two individual prizes also were presented for Longest Drive which went to Darren Messenger of Letchworth ‘B’ and Nearest the Pin went to James Crabbe of Stevenage.
This is a terrific day for the rugby clubs throughout the county to meet up and have a very social and different competitive event along with excellent food and banter.

HERTFORDSHIRE RUGBY FOOTBALL SCHOOLS UNION COMMITTEE 2018-19

As President of the Hertfordshire Society of Rugby Football Union Referees, I want to send our best wishes to all Hertfordshire clubs for the 2018/19 season. An exciting year with the world cup looming for us all in Japan in 2019. The England team continues to develop well under the great Eddie Jones.
2017/18 was great season for us; we have continued to grow our Match Official membership and we now have an excellent range of skills across all levels at both Panel and above. We are very excited about the development of our Women’s representatives and we lead the way in that regard for the RFU, as a model Society. Our leadership team is well represented in this regards. I am very thankful to the Team which now boasts a huge variety of skills which enable us to continue to develop our
very own “Hertfordshire way” which others Societies continue to emulate.
In looking at the Rugby clubs in Herefordshire, it is exciting to see that there continues to be substantial RFU support for new pitches and infrastructure as is evidenced by a number of new all-weather pitches. These should reduce the outage times at critical periods in the season – which is helpful to players, coaches and Match observers. In the season ahead we will be continuing to refine our training activities. The focus continues to be on Referee consistency at all levels of the game. We are kicking the season-off with a full training day “Hertfordshire Match officials Conference” at Cheshunt Rugby Club in late August – this will be an exciting start to our season and a testament to our training team who continue to develop new ways of delivering training.
We recognise that the Sunday games are supported by non-society referees who do a tremendous job – some a pathway to the society. I want to extend an invite to you all to attend our meetings which are held on every second Thursday of the Month (from September) the Society’s training programme is made up of a mixture of practical and technical sessions at monthly meetings at the Hertfordshire Sports Village, Herts University with additional practical sessions for the Society’s development squad and new joiners. Our training team is regularly supplemented by a wide range of external presenters, including members of the RFU’s national panel of referees. What is exciting for our group of referees is that our very own senior referee team – join us regularly at our monthly meetings – to espouse the latest methods/focus areas directly from the RFU. All of our Society meetings are open to coaches, players and supporters from the Herts clubs who either may be interested in taking up refereeing or are simply interested in hearing how the game looks from the referee’s point of view. You are all welcome at our Society training nights – please follow us on http://www.hertsrefs.co.uk/
In August, as most of us return from the summer of breaks and holiday excesses, we look forward to getting fit and ready for the season ahead. We have raised our own internal fitness test levels in line with moves at national level and we will continue our fitness sessions throughout the summer at Verulamium Park (Tuesday nights at 7.30 – all non members welcome). We have invested in new training and development kit for this purpose.
In terms of how we look, we have redesigned our number one kit and we will be rolling out our new kit to members – displaying a more relaxed style in line changes in the game as whole.
Lastly, in this booklet are the names and contact details of our executive team. Should you want to provide specific feed back to us on referees – I would please ask you to be specific (as our referees are) and contact us. Please remember that, we are volunteers, and we, like you, prefer both positive and negative feedback in order to develop the game together.If a new career as a referee interests you, do please get in touch either by e-mailing me on [email protected] or by contacting [email protected]

COUNTY MEMBERSHIPIn addition to the Clubs that form the Hertfordshire Rugby Football Union the rules allow for individualCounty Members.
The Members Section is an important and influential group in that it comprises in its membership thosepersons with an active interest in the well being and promotion of the game in general and the Hertfordshirerepresentative sides in particular.
Every member receives a copy of the County Yearbook which records his membership, a membership cardwhich allows a free admission to the home County Championship games and also secures free admission tothe County Presidents’ Tankard, Cup and Trophy Finals and the Hertfordshire 7s Competition. Whenever possible, and certainly at home championship games and the Cup Finals, a Members Bar is made available. Members are also eligible to apply for international tickets but it must be pointed out that the demand always far exceeds the supply (30% approximately). The tickets are distributed as fairly as possible. Each year the County publishes 2-3 copies of its newsletter “About Herts”. This is sent freely to County Members to keep them abreast of what is going on.
We have changed the subscription structure slightly so that new members will receive a County Members Tie when they join. Individual membership is £15 a year, Family Membership (maximum two family members) is £20 a year. An application form can be found on the previous page.
