Discipline at Somerset
The Disciplinary Panel deals with all disciplinary matters on behalf of the Management Committee under powers delegated by the R.F.U.. Club Secretaries and Match Officials are requested to familiarise themselves with the Disciplinary Regulations in the R.F.U. Handbook and the County’s own publication, "Discipline Matters".
The Disciplinary Panel will meet as and when required to discharge its duties. Sanctions imposed on players or others will be displayed on this website.
The administration charge for the current season in respect of cases arising from Sending-off/Abuse of Match Official forms is £30.00 (payable before a case is heard) or £35.00 subsequently.
It is required of Match Officials that they submit clear and accurate reports of dismissals within 48 hours of the end of the match to the Disciplinary Secretary. Clubs are required to do likewise within a similar period. Cases of Match Official abuse must be reported within 7 days of the match.
For information relating to ‘Citings’ see the booklet Discipline Matters and/or the R.F.U. Handbook.
