NOBS WORLD JANUARY 21ST, AGM, AMENDMENTS TO OUR TOUCH LAWS...and I'm the referee....

Good afternoon to everyone; where ever you are in the Nobs World.

The excitement is starting to build as we are just over a week until the AGM; Sunday, January the 29th at 3pm; in the Clubhouse of the Burlington Centaurs.   Touch will be run that Sunday and every Sunday from 1pm. to 2:30 pm.  Cost for the outing is $5.  You won't find a better bargain!   Nominations are open for all positions, with a board up in the Centaurs Clubhouse to record your nominations.  Come early as seating is limited.

  Last Thursday evening the Nobs Touch committee [You say you didn't even know we had one?] met, and as a result has made some minor changes to our Outside touch laws.  When we are playing outdoors the same laws that apply in the dome will be used outside, with one exception, and that is to do with kicking. 

  We are currently kicking after a score has been made and the receiving team has the option of fielding the kick, or playing it after it hits the ground.  If the ball is fielded and dropped, it will result in a kickback. This will remain the same.

  A change outside is that from now on when a touch is made, the ball will be placed back through the legs and  it is live.  Defenders must retire 6ft. before making a touch.  This will be the same as indoors.  

  After any exchange of the ball between teams the ball must be tapped. 

  So the only difference now between playing indoors and outdoors is we will still be kicking outside.

Your probably asking yourself who is this touch committee?  When the Super Gnome still roamed this earth; Saint David was the Czar of touch rugby.  A self proclaimed dictator if you like.  In his absence we now have 4 members to try and match his divine wisdom.  Jack Morrison, Dave Tait, Chris Mant and Craig Morley have now been entrusted with the sacred scrolls.

  Dave Tait has forwarded a helpful film for anyone who has played rugby, but especially for all our touch enthusiasts. Please check this out; you'll love it. 

  See you at the AGM, Da Thug

Craig,

The following is an email I received from my rugby club in the Turks and Caicos who appear to be having 'chirping problems'. As one of the local offenders I thought you might like to circulate this piece.

Dave

Following on from recent issues of players criticizing the ref and constant appealing for infringements, check out the below link – classic! "We haven't met before, but I'm the referee…. "

Whilst good natured banter is one thing, we also need to set an example for some of the younger guys who need to understand 'this is not soccer…"

Up yours

Stitch
