GAME MANAGEMENT REPORTS
HOME TEAM | REPORT | NEXT HOME GAME |
New this week | ||
Nottingham Outlaws | Chain crew changed at half time Ian Wainwright #567 | Unknown |
Outstanding items from previous weeks | ||
Gateshead Senators | No sideline hash marks, although gameday management has confirmed this will be sorted for regular season. Daniel Johnston #347 | 14th Apr 2019 v Northumberland Vikings |
Leicester Falcons | Field markings are in blue on a 90 yard field. Well marked but difficult to see when floodlights are on. The floodlights are low height so the ball disappears into the gloom on kicks this added some excitement for the BJ to find it on re-entry. But a good set up overall. Ian Wainwright #567 | 14th April 2019 vs Sheffield Giants |
London Warriors | A very well marked field, except the team areas run to the 20's. Officials assistants were very good. Steven Leonard #370 | 21st April 2019 vs Farnham Knights |
