submission, this is a warning that there may be an issue. Firstly, please

GAME MANAGEMENT REPORTS
|
HOME TEAM |
REPORT |
|
|
New this week |
|
|
|
East Kilbride Pirates |
Field markings were in faint yellow, the grass had
suffered during the recent warm weather and was also yellow. |
|
|
Glasgow Tigers |
Kick off delayed by 35 minutes as the medic was called
over to assist with an injury on an adjacent field |
|
|
Wembley Stallions |
Away team rosters were provided in digital rather than paper
form, owing to the coach responsible for bringing paper rosters being
involved in a car accident. |
|
|
Aberdeen Roughnecks |
The game was abandoned at the end of the third quarter due
to injuries to the West Coast players which left the team unable to field
enough players in appropriate positions to continue. |
|
|
Humber Warhawks |
Reasonably well marked 100 yard
field. Team areas marked between the 30 yard lines.No 3 or 9 yard marks/numbers. |
|
|
Worcestershire Black Knights |
One ball boy was changed at half-time. Many short breaks
for injuries. One of which was for the Line Judge who managed to go 8' out of
bounds and tripped over the physios kit. Very well
marked out pitch. Game was played in a good spirit. |
|
|
Jurassic Coast Raptors |
The game was played on a field with no goal posts - this
had been agreed by the team and the league prior to the season. Only 2 point conversions were attempted. Changing rooms were
not locked. Chains broke on a number of occassions |
|
|
Essex Spartans |
Well marked 90
yard field in white although markings were very faint and became
increasingly hard to see as the game progressed. Limit lines were missing,
numbers were too small and at least one of the main lines was not straight.
Neither hashmarks nor inbounds lines were consistently 1-yard apart and the
inbounds lines depth varied significantly. Goalposts were not padded but this
was rectified by game management. Good size changing room but no toilet and
not lockable. |
|
|
Maidstone Pumas |
Goal posts were soccer goals with uprights appended to
make them functional. 9-yard marks were present, but more like 15 yards from
the sideline. Aside from those issues it was a well marked field. Changing facility is in the dance
studio, which is lockable but you have to phone the
caretaker to lock and unlock it. Change of two chain crew and a ball person
at half time. |
|
|
East Kilbride Pirates |
90 yard field marked in yellow,
due to the recent dry spell the field surface was patchy and some of the hash
marks disappeared as they were marked on the sandy area. One of the ball
persons was changed during the second half due to an apparent finger injury
which needed medical attention |
|
|
Hamilton Buccaneers |
Very well organised gameday. Credit to all teams involved. |
|
|
Manchester Titans |
Game was held on the playing field at North ridge high
school Manchester. Whilst one pitch presented no problems the other had
several large gullies in the surface, probably something to do with the
drainage. The officials and game management quickly improvised a field and
the tournament started on time. Thanks as always to
Verity Brawn for her excellent game management and plaudits to four teams who
played superb football in the oppressive heat. |
|
|
Buckinghamshire Wolves |
Wolves only had 5 players for the day, and 1 of them was
injured (heatstroke) in the first game already, so they finished their first
match with 4 players (and won overwhelmingly) and conceded the remaining 2
games. |
|
|
Sussex Thunder |
Temporary venue so fields were marked with cones using all
the lines they could on the 3G surface. |
|
|
Inverclyde Goliaths |
Field initially marked off as longer but goal posts were
inside the endzones so
field was shortened to 90 yds. Short yard line extensions on sideline did not line up with inbound lines/hashmarks.
Team areas not marked out properly including coaching boxes. |
