COUNTY YOUTH LIAISON OFFICER REPORT Scason 1986/87 saw the start of twO Youth Cup Co mpetitions. The inter-club U.17 Compe titi on was won by Ashton-on-M.e rsey who bcat Wilmslow in the final played at Daven port R.U.F .C. The U. 14 Cup competition was won by New Brighton R.U. r .c. who beat Crewe in the final at Chester R.U.F.C. Clubs wish ing to compete in these competitions next season should notify Dai Adams as soon as possible . The 3rd Annual Coaches Coaching week-end is bcing held at Chester Coll cgc o n Friday - Sunday of the last wcek-end in AUbtUst. This year the course will be geared towards the R.F .U. Prclim inary Coaching Award. Next season will see the production of a Cheshire R.F.U . Youth Hand Book which wÎll contaÎn information about Youth Ru gby at aIl the Chesh ire Clubs.

SENDING OFF TH E FIELD OF PLAY It is pleasing [Q report a reduction in the number of discip linary cases dealt with this season but the Icvcl is still too high . One Club met o ff icers of the Cou nt Y to discuss its record and th e action it had takcn . A disturbing fcature is the abuse sometimes directed at the rcferec, this will be dealt wi th severe ly by the discipl inary commiuees and the Referees' Society may take its ow n action, as it did this season, by withdrawing rderces from one Club. A chargc of .c5.00 Îs made on Clubs for each case. whi ch helps 10 defray cxpcll ses.
