Three Eastbourne Players attend the Young Match Officials Course.

By Stephen Snell

Eastbourne Under 15’s swap the players jersey for an official’s kit.

Brandon, Jack and Spencer who play for Eastbournes RFC Under 15’s joined up with thirty other young people from across Sussex spending two days out of their half term at Brighton College developing new skills at the Young Match Officials course.

The boys proudly representing Eastbourne RFC took their first steps towards being a qualified Rugby Football Union Referee, something that ERFC is fully aware of is in great demand due to a lack of those wishing to enter into the separate strand of Rugby other than Playing or Coaching.

On behalf of the Club “Great work guys”, and I’m sure their parents will be pleased they’ve been given a whistle to blast away officially now, along with their other stash awarded to them by the RFU.
