NOWIRUL North West Leagues Providing grass roots rugby since 2002

Referees


For nearly all the Teams in Lancashire and Cheshire, Referees are appointed from Manchester & Districts Referee Society or Liverpool Referees Society.
 
Both societies now show their appointments on the Whos The Ref website. 
 
Club Referee contacts should be able to access the Referee appointed through this link below after putting in their Login Details.
 
 
 
For teams outside of Lancashire or Cheshire they have their own Referee providers.
 
Some of the lower teams at the Clubs get their referees from the North West Referees Associations - Any issues with Association Referee Appointments you should contact Fred Swarbrick or John Powell
 
However you can view the appointments for these teams by going directly to Association Referees
 
It is important that teams confirm with the Referee very early in the week of the game and communicate any problems especially with weather.
 
Red card offences should be notified to the league using this form
