OFFICIAL RESULTS
All official results up to the previous week will be available on the Club Website – www.parklandsunited.co.nz or with the Organiser on the field each week.
REFEREES
Parklands United Sports Club is making a determined effort to ensure all games have one if not two referees who have been trained. If your team has someone who wishes to referee (they get paid per game plus a drink in the clubrooms) please let me know – the Club is willing to put touch players through a touch referee’s course with Touch Canterbury if anyone is interested.
The core referees will be paid for each game they referee
CLUBROOMS
The Clubrooms will be open every Friday night for the teams after playing to socialise. We encourage you to join your team members in the clubrooms after the game. Hot food is also available to purchase.
We will be introducing a team of the night each week and this will give you hot food and drink to the value of $30.00. The roster will come out with the draw.
This is to encourage teams to come into the clubrooms each week and socialise as well as play their games on the reserve.
