Recent Incident Highlight
Violence at school rugby matches has become a disturbing trend. The recent S. Thomas’ College vs. Science College match at the Air Force Grounds in Ratmalana saw the match referee and touch judges assaulted by spectators after a controversial last-minute try was disallowed. This incident led to the SLSRFR deciding not to officiate any school matches until July 15, allowing their referees time to recover.
