It's basically the same as we've always played except:

1. Scoring side kicks off.
2. All kicks to be below head height (though if the ball bounces and then goes above head height this is ok).
3. When receiving a kick the catcher/receiver must be given space to pick the ball up (this is 5 yards on a full pitch so suggest you use your own discretion).
4. Dummy half runner can scoot and be tagged without it becoming 5th and last.

You're always a pleasure to officiate Gareth, I particularly like the way you provide so much verbal assistance in decision making

Well played tonight lads. Sorry for being rather late (work) and not much use when I got there! I was pretty well making up the numbers and not doing very well at that

Looking forward to having a good crack at them on the return leg. See you all next week...

Well done last night lads, to lose 9-11 to a team with all those playmakers and quick runners was a great effort. If it hadn't have been for the slow start we might have had em.

Shame the rules discussed above went out of the window from the kick off!

Memo to self. Clarify rules with ref before kick off rather than assuming he's read it on here!

Those rules are actually what Rawdon usually play so the rules were beneficial to LL.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game, especially the abuse I received from the Lost Loiners.

I'm flattered at the suggestion you think I might pass the ball

Or alternatively, ref them yourself.

I don't think he meant it as a criticism of you Andy.

Gawd no! More of a criticism of myself Mr Gilder!
