Discipline

Disciplinary panels deal with disciplinary matters on behalf of the County Union under powers delegated by the RFU.

Club Secretaries (or other appropriate club officer(s)) should familiarise themselves with the RFU’s disciplinary regulations (as set out in the RFU handbook) and the matters contained in the county’s own handbook which can also be found here on this website.

Attention Discipline Secretaries

With the welcome return to rugby across the County after the Summer break I am keen, as in previous seasons, to have a clear process for all clubs to follow should there be a red card issued at senior level and age grade.

Please read the letter here for full details.

Thank you

Alison Bennett
Honorary Disciplinary Secretary Somerset County RFU
