  Speaker 6: Good morning, Liam, good morning?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And and what is your role at the club?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Sorry, the head coach for the ladies section, and I
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: also an assistant coach for the men's section as.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Well, Right, so you're the coach and does the coach
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: pick the team.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I'd picked the team for the for the ladies because
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I've obviously got quite a few now to pick from,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and obviously the men I assistant kind of coaching the
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: forwards and deciding help to decide the forwards.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, so let's stick sort of primarily to the ladies.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Is it just you solely pick them or do you
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: ever a choice or do you discuss it with Cherley?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: No, I always discuss with my captain. I've got another
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: coach with me called Mark Spearpoint. We're always talking about
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: who's training well, who's always a training and how they're
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: playing and what sort of the style of rugby would
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: to play.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it must be a tough job for
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a coach at any level to say to someone I'm sorry,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: we're going to have to you know, stand down this week.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: And does that happen?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I think it was, yeah, sometimes, but more than the
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: fact that I've got to put someone on the bench.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: His particular oppontment played quite well last week. It's one
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: of it's very tough now, it's really tough. When I
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: first started, I barely had ten players and now I've
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: got over thirty odd.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: So's it's massive in the last three years. And that's
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: mostly down to the girls more than me myself, to
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: be fair.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, So so Shelley, so you've got thirty players. Is
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it a bit ambitious to go to two teams, do
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you think? Or is it like you know, some some
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: you're going to lose some because they're not getting a game.
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so we have really thought about that. But our
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: squad is made up of a number of people that
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: are workers within the police ambulance service. We've got a
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: lot of shift workers, which is amazing, but sometimes it
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: means it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Will overlap with our games.
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: So we have discussed that and we seem to be
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: recruiting more and more people that do shift work, which
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: is amazing, but you know, it can be difficult sometimes,
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: so with the yeah, the way the team is at
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: the moment, and also injuries. We've unfortunately, we picked up
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: a lot of injuries last season with some of our players,
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: especially the backs, and that's why I ended up getting
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: drawn into the backs by Liam. But yeah, we've we've
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: got some amazing players and that would be the goal,
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: that will be an ideal goal if we could get
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: to that stage because we have people at many different levels.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: So we have people that are just coming in, brand
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: new players developing them. Then we've got the more of
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: you know, the players that have been there a long time.
• 5:59
  Speaker 7: And like mentioned Catherine, she's hopefully going to be coming
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: back next season, and yeah, we've got lots of players
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: that have been playing rugby for a long time.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Does Catherine play an active role or is she just
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: an ambassador these days?
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: So, and I'll also cavey out that you mentioned Catherine
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: was in her fifties.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: She's in her forties.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: For the Yeah, I'm going to edit this bit out
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: of the show.
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: So yeah, Catherine played a few games for US last season,
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: which was amazing. It was great for her to be
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: alongside her in the changing room and then go out
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: and then play with her on the pitch because some
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: of the girls that are in the team now, we
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: started off as as.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Young young girls.
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: You know. We were probably about thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: we used to go watch Catherine play when she I
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: remember a game we played, watched her play at Richmond
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: and it was England via the USA, so we all
• 6:52
  Speaker 7: went up as a squad. We've got a picture of her.
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: I think someone was in a wheelchair at the time,
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: said an injury, but yeah, we've still got that picture.
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: So it was amazing to go from watching Catherine play
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: for England and then her being by our side as yeah. Yeah,
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: so yeah, that was amazing.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Good.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I will say that I have read a book actually,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and there are a few names in there that even
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I recognized, some of the coaches that Liam probably know.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: But let's come on to you then, is he how
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: is he?
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: So?
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: What made you get into refereeing, you obviously played first
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: of all, and then decided to referee.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: So I started playing when I was about eleven, and
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: it was my mum had started. So her whole thought
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: was that instead of our coaches having to referee us,
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: they could coach and she'll do it. And then I
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: watched her do it and join the society and I
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: was like I like that, yeah, and went and gave
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: it a go, and then it kind of went from there.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: And was it was it tough at first? Your very
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: first game. Can you remember the very first game you refereed?
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: It was tough. It was like learning it because you
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: look at it from a player's perspective and you're like,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: I know the laws, I know what I'm doing, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: then it was kind of a bit like, oh, I'm
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: in charge of this now.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: I think I started with younger age grades. I did
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: like under eights and worked my way up, which helped
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: instead of just going in the deep end.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: If that makes sense, it does.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Yes, Yeah, it was a challenge, but the more I
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: did it, the more I learned and got into it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And have you have you have you set yourself any
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: goals for referee, and I mean, do you find that
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: you would like to go higher up the letter?
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah? I think at the minute that is one of
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: my big things within our society is to work up
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: the higher levels to be doing referee and maybe something
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: like CHAMP. So I got up to refereeing NC one
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: for women's this season NC one.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: So which is the league that love us? Yeah? Yeah,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: you're Shelley. You're going into n C two. No, you're
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: in n C two now, aren't you. Yeah that's right? Yeah, yeah, okay,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: So I think it's we've chatted a little bit enough,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: so it's about time for a bit of music. So
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk about a certain song that I
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: think we bring Liam in here because little Birdie told
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: me that you got up and did a karaoke to
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: this one. Is that right?
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I got roped into that unfortunately. But what was
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: the co So it was our end of season presentation
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: where we hand out awards two players that think have
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: stood out for the whole season, and then we just
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: had a bit of fun bit of obviously a bit
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: of alcohol involved, and then yeah, I just I sat
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: there nice and nice and quiet, and then I got
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: roped into talking and singing this song, and they've somehow
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: sneaked onto a little bit of social media which you
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: can't get away.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: With anything, right, So right, Liam, let's ad will press

• 11:03
  Speaker 2: now we'll say. It's just just reminded me. I was
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: talking thinking about the old days of a Catherine's book.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: But I don't know if this was before your time, Liam,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: but there was a story where the men went on
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: tour in Holland, all right, and that unfortunately alcohol got
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the better of them and they invited a ladies Dutch
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: team over to play Folkston and I said, yeah, great
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: as so the ladies came over. But what the club
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: didn't realize they were one of the top sides in Holland.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Can you remember this absolutely?
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: I played in that game.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Did you well? I came up and watched it. They
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: hammered you, didn't they?
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I will tell you a story about that, Kevin.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: So we got told the night before the game too.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: We had a dinner. We had a lovely three course
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: dinner at the club. We were drinking wine because we
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: were like, show them a good time, you know, take
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: them out.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: So we took them to the priz, which was you
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: know for us. All the time.
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: We were probably eight out till two three in the
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: morning with and the girls listening. They're loveless this story.
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: And the next day we played them and they were
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: out warming up.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: We were just turning up.
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: We barely had our kit together, and they were all
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: kitted out in the exact same you know kit, looking
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: really professional. So oh no, oh no, maybe we shouldn't
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: have Maybe we should drink soft drinks. And they were
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: all on soft drinks and we were like, maybe they
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: don't drink alcohol, And then I think, yeah, I think
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: it was about one hundred niols. You got ruined. We
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: were all hungover. We were so hungover, and we still
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: talk about that to this day. It was yeah, the
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: people listening are laughing at this.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we had a great time.
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: But then we didn't realize they'd been hand selected to
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: I think they were being part of like the Olympics
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: or something like that.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: They were on like.
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: Some kind of yeah development for that. So they were
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: all hand picked from all different sports. Some of them
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: have come from boxing and some of them had come
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: from hockey, and yeah, so yeah, took them down the prayers,
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: had a good time.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: And then as I'm glad you you you reminded me
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: of that, because there's times I think, did I did
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I actually remember that? Or did I dream it? Did
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I go down and or did I dream that they? Yeah, nightmare,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I don't think. Yeah, I don't think I reported that game.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Actually I watched it. I thought, no, it's probably left
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: in the animals of history. Yeah, okay, So the turn
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: to you and nelliam Ne Liam You're you're there the coach,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, what is he like coaching ladies? Did they
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: give you a tough time? Did they do as they're told?
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: And you know, do they go sulky or do they
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: really really go for it? I don't mention any names.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: I think you've kind of covered it all there. They
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: do all of that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: No, they're a very good bunch, very easy to actually coach.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: So they show kind of show respect to me and
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I show respect back.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: And it's lovely, lovely groups to coach. They say.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you have to kind of crack the whip because
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: obviously they're all friends. They're all trying to have that
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: little joky laugh together. Sometimes you got to remember we
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: are to play rugby, so you got them sort that out.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: But other than that, ninety of the time they are
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: top notch.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: So if you've got thirty of them, and do you
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: split them up into groups of ten.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Or I mean I can always get thirty a training
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: all the time. But yeah, so well I try and
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: kick them all together as much as possible. And then
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: obviously you've got two sizes to rugby. You've got forward
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: they do all the dog work and all the big
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: tackling rucky, and you've got the backs to do the
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: fancy stuff.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: Obviously you can tell them all forward.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: It used to be a forward even, but yeah, the
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: backs kind of have different sort of specialties that they
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: need to kind of work on, so you'll split them.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, So that's a good point actually, so you know
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: you can split them up and so to practice their
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: own special skills anyway, Yes.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Ye.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Say that so far is all kind of that strength, Yeah,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: that strength.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: And the backs of speed really aren't they?
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there's ninety percent of the time. But I
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: think you've got Izzy over there who's kind of that
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: highbrid so be careful of that one.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, so is it We haven't spoken to you for
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: a little while, so is he What position do you play?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Then?
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: I think I moved into the flank and I did
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: a few at number eight last season.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Do you find that continually playing rugby helps you with
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: the referees understand that the mentality of players and you
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: can see what's what's how to handle a situation.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: Definitely is a different perspective because I know there would
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: have been times where I used to get really angry
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: and I still not as angry, but I'll all have
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: words with the ref But you kind of think, oh,
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: I can't say that because they're human. I've had it
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: a few times where I've refereed. I've been why are
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: you saying that to me?
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: What have I done?
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Just a bit like you learn what's appropriate and you
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: learn to remember what they can see.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: So the big difference Adrian is referee and the game
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: is We've just seen in the Football World Cup, haven't
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: we and it was like referees were the players the behavior.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: But there's so much more respect, isn't it in rugby?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean you see it. I mean if the
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: referee says something, the player obviously listens to them, and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: that they seem to show the referee a lot more
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: respecting rugby than what they do in football. I will
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: say that talking of rugby, I mean the number ten
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: is normally the kicker if I if I'm correct, and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: some of the angles that they put that ball into
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: is unbelievable. Do you have a specialist kicker in your team?
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Yes, so we have a specialist kicker, not number ten though.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: Actually Laurel is another hybrid player. She's fantastic in the
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: forwards and she's also Liam moved around a lot in
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: the team and sometimes she played number nine last season
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: she was excellent at that. But she was the tops
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: point scorer for the league last season. We were really
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: fortunate to have Laurel and also Maddie who was also
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: the top try scorer. So Laurel's kicks were unbelievable. They
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: were won us some of the games as well.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when I watched the rugby on TV, you know
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the England team, you think that that's never going to go.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: You're not going to score from there. So I mean
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the amount of practice that must be going to those
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: kicks is phenomenal.
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think for the Red Roses certainly that
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: the number ten in the Red Roses, her kicking is
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: actually better than the men's on I suppose it's the
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: thing that you can be compared against because you know
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: they're doing the same they're kicking from the same spot essentially,
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: and she's more accurate than the men's.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Her kicking is like phenomenal. Yeah, it's amazing.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Many years ago, I used to play American football and
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: used to be the kicker for Folks and vikings, And
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I know how difficult that could. I mean, but you'd
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: you get a little bit more time. I do appreciate that.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: And but you know that you in American FOOTBA, You've
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: got like a couple of seconds and you have to
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: kick that ball through that through the goal, and it's
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: it's a very very difficult thing to do week in
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: week out, I suppose for in your position with your team.
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and I think as well, I'll go back to
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: the referee and the respect I think you know all
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: season and also every time you play a game, the
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: ref tells you that anyone that wants to speak goes
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: through the captain. So I always have to go to
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: the ref and talk to him about her about something
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: that's gone on.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: In the game.
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: Maybe there's something that's not quite right in the Rocks
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: or maybe something not quite right in the grum, but
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: everything has to come through the captain, and we were
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: the only ones really.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: That can talk to them or about leader.
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: So it kind of stops the noise from the team
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: and also that pressure as well, because if you've got
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: like in the football, you saw all the men approaching
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: the ref shouting at him, probably swearing at him and
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: doing all sorts, and there's that pressure, isn't there then
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: for him to make or that that decision in the game.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: In the ladies' games that you play on a Sunday,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: and do you find that you get a male referees
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: or female referees or it can vary.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: We've had one female referee I think this season, I
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: think the majority are men's referee but I think now
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: it is changing, so I think women certainly this year
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: was the first time that there was a women's referee
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: within the six nations, yeah, so, which was amazing.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: She's a great referee.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: And I also know a referee that I went to
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: UNI with and we played together and she's now refereeing
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: in the p WR, which is the Women's Rugby Premiership.
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: So I think there are them role models now and
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: it is I think increasing. I think probably I don't know,
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: you'll have to ask is this if there's more women
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: getting involved with refereeing, but I think there is that
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: option there as well. If you love the game so
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: much but don't want to play anymore, there's still that
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: option there to go on and be a ref and
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: I think the r refee are really trying to push
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: that as well, to get more women into a referee
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: in games.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, Liam, back to you. I mean at your level,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: at the first team level, do you get female referees?
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: Not for the men. I haven't seen a female referee
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: for the Massive Life. I have seen one, and she
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: was actually a very good referee.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: I think I haven't seen her since she must have
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: been picked up and moved on quite quickly.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: But also at your level running the line, do you
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: get officials or do you have to get a member
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: of each club?
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: No, it's no normally a member of each club. We
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: normally designate it to our director of rugby keyboard word.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: He always ends up doing it because I'll see the
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: normally start with the substitute kind of do it. But
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: obviously injuries happen, substitutes happen for the women. We've normally
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: got one guy that plays that she plays with the men.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: Mason. He likes to step up for us and do
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: it for the women.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Most people once they put a flag in their hand.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: They go, oh my god, I don't know the rules
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: because it happened to me. My lad come up through
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the Invictor system for football, and one day the manager
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: said to me, can you run the line?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: keV.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I've been playing football all these years. I don't know
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: if I know the rules. So I actually took a
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: referees course and I didn't want a referee, but I thought,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: if I'm going to run the line, I don't want
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: people saying linesmen you don't know. So yeah, so I
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: took a course and it did help. So enough talking
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: for a little while. So we got another song chosen
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: by the team. So who's going to tell us about
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: this one?
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Is this the Basement Jacks?
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: It is? Yeah?
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: So this is a request by Meghan West. She's one
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: of her favorite songs and it's from the Bend. It
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: like Beckham, which is Yeah, Growing Up, a film that
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: we all love because it's about women getting involved with sports.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: That was a great film.
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: I love it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love absolutely.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Hear a Nightley one of her first roles.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, yeah she went on to great things,
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: did she did? Yeah?
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, So Agel, what we.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Got it's his basement Jackson, do your thing. You'll never
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: hear this again on a Saturday morning the radio show
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: because it's after nineteen eighty eight, So it's a two
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: thousand and five song for me. If you don't know
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: after nineteen eighty eight music stops for me. Anyway, this
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: is Basement Jack's and do your thing. There you go,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Basement Jacks from the film Bend It like Beckham there was?
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: That was a feel good film, wasn't it that one?
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: And I often wonder that bit of the end where
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: they're walking past at the airport was it then or
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: was it not? Or was it to lookalike? Right? So
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: we're going to come back to you. Is he now?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Is he?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: A little Birdie told me that you were awarded the
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Kent or a few Young Person of the Year, so
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I know this is probably put you on the spot
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: there about of course for is he? So how did
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: that come about? First of all? Did you know anything
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: about it? Were you nominated by a fellow member or
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: someone just seeing you? And how did it all happen?
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: So it works off nominations and people from clubs well,
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: so there'll be different categories and they can put some
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: more forward. So I got told about a month before it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: I literally just got told, oh you're going to this.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: I didn't get told it was for an award or
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: for anything, right, and I rocked up. And so people
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: put nominations in and a table of people sit down
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: and decide, oh, okay, they think this person could be shortlisted.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: So there was two for each categories shortlisted. There was
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: me and another girl. Then they just chose. So I
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: think I had Ashford and folks and put one in.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Right, So where did you have to go for the award?
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: So it was up. They were in a different place
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: every year, so I know other years it's been Elsford.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: We went up to lords With.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: This year, oh to another rugby club, Rugby, Yeah, I've
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: been to I've been to lords With. I did the
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: driver awareness course. There was it nothing to do with rugby.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: It was it was at the at the rugby club
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: too fast, yeah it was yeah, I got I've got
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: fleshed at the lights down down at just past Saying
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Gate as you come out of Saying Gate. It was
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: only doing about thirty two, but.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Fault.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: It quite interesting actually, and you know all about that.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: I'm just keeping quiet.
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: So so you went up to the lord'sward just sitting
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: there and you still didn't have a clue. It wasn't
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: until they announced it. Is that how it worked?
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: No, So how did like a brief idea?
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: I was told I was shortlisted for an award, I
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: didn't know what category or anything. Kind of pieced it
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: together and lee and kind of whispered in my ear
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: across the table, Well, it's got to be the youth
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: one now then, doesn't it.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, great, So it's not only a great coup for you,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: but it's a great coup for the people behind you,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the coaches and the captains and the club of course,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: and so yeah, that is that is fantastic. Let's go
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: back to refereeing. So how often do you have to
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: take an exam or whatever you call it to get
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: up to the next level? Can you got a couple
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: of seasons or one season?
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: So you kind of do your initial one? So we
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: have initial course is within the r refew which just
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: changed now so it's gone to ready to RAF so
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: people before might know it as your introduction to referee
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: and which will give you the basis to go into
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: the society or you're ready not you're ready to that's
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: a new one, your ka so it's your big referee
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: in one, but it's changed now they're combined. So you
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: do that and then you can join the society like
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: I did. It's not exactly a test every time, but
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: you'll go and referee games.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: You're assigned, so you're assisted. I suppose that's the word.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they'll assess you and see on a panel at
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: the end of the season if they think you're ready
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: to go off.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Right, Okay, So Shirley coming over to you. So the
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: club had a good year last year and you came
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: second in the table, but you did manage to get promotion.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: But it was a bit touch and go, wasn't it
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: right up to the Royal last game.
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah. So we started the season brilliantly. We started with
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: a forty.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Five nerl win over Becker Amiens and.
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: I remember that game quite vividly. I think it was
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: October our season started. It was quite late just because
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: of the Women's World Cup. It delayed things and it
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: was absolutely hammering it down. It's such an awful day
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: to play and we were really up for it. And
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: the ref even turned around to me and said what
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: do you think about the rain and I was.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I was thinking, you know, this is rugby weather. This
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: is great weather to play rugby.
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: I think he wanted to call it, but yeah, that
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: was a great start and then we went on from there.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: We won their first two games.
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: We played our third game and unfortunately lost away at Thanet,
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: which I think was a bit of a shock because
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: last season many of our games we were winning by
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: quite a lot. And yeah, it was it was a
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: great season. We came up last season, so we had
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: we were promoted from MT three with seven Oaks and
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: US and seven Oaks went into the next league in
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: MT two, and I think the highlights of the season
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: we played, especially at Folkston home ground.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: We have.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: It's like a fortress to us. We're still yet to
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: lose there.
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: We always are really strong at home and I think
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: teams kind of fear comeing to us because they know
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: we always win and score quite highly there.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: So when you play, do you play the men play
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: on the first team pitch, that's what I call it.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Do you follow that or do you play on the
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: second pitch?
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: No, No, we on the first pitch because we are
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: the first team and we are the later so it's
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: actually a really good day.
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: And when we do play on home especially, it's lovely weather.
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: On that balcony at the top. We've got a group
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: of some of our husbands and boyfriends that come along
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: and they like to have a few drinks on the
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: sideline as well, and they thoroughly enjoy home and away
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: games as well.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it's a great day.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: And we also have a roast after which is quite nice,
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: and teams quite like that because it's better than most
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: food they get for other games.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: They We're very fortunate the club put that on.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Nobody told me that I might have.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: To come down.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: You doing us up there? But of course is it
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: the president's dinner.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's on a Saturday lunches.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: So talking about the pitches, I mean, now, is there
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: a blade of grass on the on the pitches up there?
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: Is it brown or what's it like up there? It
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: must be like concrete.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: It is looking very dry.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: But then April, I think our last game of the
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: season was twenty eighth or ninth of April. Liam, Yeah,
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: around then on the ground is like concrete then, so
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: I can't imagine what it's like. And our first game
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: is the twentieth of September, but that's a way and
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: then our first home games the twenty seventh, So I'm
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: hoping we're going to have a lot of rain. Rain, Yeah,
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: it would be quite so that's when your season starts
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: in twentieth September.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: I mean the rain it's been great, isn't it. And
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: we love a summer and the rest of it, and
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: I just hope that the sun stays out till the
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: end of the school holidays really and then it pours
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: down because we do need it, There's no two ways
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: about it. You know, all the plants are dying and
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: there's not a blade of green grass in the county.

  Speaker 2: Victor gorn Adrian Well.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: As I say today we are at home to Walton
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: and Hersham in the National League South, our very very
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: first attempt at this higher level. He promises to be
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: a hard season. I think new signings have come in
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Joe pig At our star player wearing the number thirty
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: nine shirt this season, a lot big things are expected
• 32:06

  Speaker 1: three pm kick off this afternoon. You can paign on
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: the gates, or you can go online and book it

• 32:25
  Speaker 1: you the full commentary from three pm. Looking forward to it,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a really good game today. Watman
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and Hersham came up with us or came up as
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: champions of the Southern League Premier Division I believe it was,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: and we was obviously in the Esman Premier League. So
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: it's both our debuts in the National League South, so clash. Yeah,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: it's going to be an interesting game and sort of
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: like a market to see where we're going to be
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. Unfortunately, next must have
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: to say something about Absolutely United currently bended from the
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: National League South and it doesn't both too well. I
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: think they could be chunt out of.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: The league by the administration.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, financial troubles HMC have stuck a winding up order
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: on them. So it's not looking good for Absolute United,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: but onwards and upwards for folksing in Victor. There'll be
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: no game for Folks in the Victor next Saturday because
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: we were supposed to play AB's Fleet and of course
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: they've been suspended. So yeah, it's not looking good for them.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, no it's not so. But anyway, Brighton turn into
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: some cricket. Now. Every week I pick on six local
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: cricket teams and give out the first team results. And
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: if you remember last week, Adrian, we had five wins
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: out six. Yeah, well this week was amazing. I was
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: going through going through the teams, folks In one, Hawkins one,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: hythe one hythe Green one, Saltwood one, so that's five
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: out of the sixth. I got to Sipton Park and
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: I thought, oh, please be a full house and when
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: I found the result, it said match abandoned. Abandoned. Yeah,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: so I thought abandoned what is that? And so I
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: couldn't find anymore for a couple of days and I
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: went on to I found a player. His dad goes
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: to watches, so I asked his dad. I said, well,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: because I was thinking it can't be the weather. I
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: thought it must be a serious injury or something like that. Anyway,
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: apparently it was the weather. A huge thunderstorm came over
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: and absolutely blitzed the pitch for about half an hour
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: at some Simpton Park. It was just outside limite. Yeah, yeah,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you remember when we came in last Saturday,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: there was there was yeah, and now I think there
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: were sporadic outbursts of rain over the county because the
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: report which was then made public was that, yeah, there
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: was a massive, massive downpour. It sort of flooded the
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: pitch nearly and when they came out, they couldn't play
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: and it was getting dark anyway, so they abandoned the game.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: So I never got my six out of six again. Okay, right, okay,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: so we've done a little bit of waffling, so we're
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: going to come to you first, Shelley, and this is
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: time to wrap it up. Anything you want to say

• 35:27
  Speaker 7: with women's sport and our team, and I know a
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: lot of teams across Kent, it always takes more than
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: just the captain and the coach and Ash our manager
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: as well. So there's lots of women in our team
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: that are really putting so much into this. Maddie runs
• 35:43

• 37:11
  Speaker 5: managed to bring so many people back, especially after the
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: girls section, so definitely a lot.
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: I'll also add Megan West has been quite key and
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: bring in so many players back, whether it be and
• 37:24
  Speaker 7: she's been like pivotal and kind of like driving this
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: team forward and getting so many players.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Whether that be through her work or through.
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: Us coming back and trying to get her old teammates back,
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: which she has finally done.

  Speaker 2: Okay, so we're going to have to find a word
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: from the boss, sir, Liam, if you've got any thank
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: you to say.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: I mean both the most have been covered. Shelley stole
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: that from from me. And Ashley my wife who's been
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: doing all the admin side for me because my admin
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: is awful, so she does all the speaking to the
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: r A few any questions that we have go straight
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: to them through her. Sorry, and obviously my other coach,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Markos massively helps me stands by my side, does all that.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: But what I'd like to say is that folks in
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: the rugby club here, especially for the ladies and the men,
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: it's it's more of a family. I know rugby can
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: be quite scary and being hit as hard as well
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: people that want to hit you, tackling people as are
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: that you can. It's obviously very scary, but it's more
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: than just rugby. It's definitely a family and friends.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: The community, isn't it. I know more one hundred neal
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: defeats then cheerlie.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: No, we do that to other teams.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, it's great.
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I wouldn't allow it, Kevin would not allow.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: It's thing you're all for coming in. It's been a
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: great morning. And you know, I just I hope the
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: word gets out and what a lovely club it is
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: and your membership goes up and and that you have
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: a great season Chili.
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you very much.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: You're modern welcome. And as I said, have a good
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: lookout at the Instagram. Got a bit but a Facebook
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: page as well.

  Speaker 7: We don't have the Facebook. We use Instagram a lot.
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: We do have the website. But if you do, yeah,
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: go on folks on ladies Instagram and follow us the men.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, well make sure you do check that one out.

  Speaker 1: And yeah, hopefully you'll get a few more people even
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: if they want to come over and watch as well.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: And I'm sure you're all you'll want to get as
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: many people over there as you possibly can.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: So as men say, someone that does quite a lot
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: for the name behind the scenes, he doesn't like to
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: kind of stand out with that. I will try and
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: get him onto the show for you does a lot
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: for that club.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: We've been being leave for a long long time and
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: every time he says, yes, it's on my hit list.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: But I know he's busy, and you know, Saturdays is
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: a tough call. If they's training on or even a
