Due to unforseen circumstances the RFL have been forced to cancel this course.

The Rugby Football League are holding a one day course for new Match officials on Saturday 28th April.

The course will take place at the Brewery Field Bridgend between 10:30am and 5pm before Celtic Crusaders take on Swinton Lions in the National League two game at 6pm.

As part of a fantastic opportunity The Rugby Football league are offering the course free of charge to the first 20 people that sign up. The usual price is £10 for Adults and £5 for Juniors.

The full 13-a-side course enables all participants to gain a full understanding of the International Laws of the Game. The course is run over 1 day and involves a theory and practical element. On completion of the course and the exam participants are required to join a Match Officials Society for insurance purposes.
