As we head into another ACFL season on Sunday, the Saffron Gael once more appeals to P.R.O’s from the clubs taking part to send us reports from your games.
On Sunday there are 17 games fixed in all three divisions of the ACF Leagues and as always the Saffron Gael will be doing our best to bring you reports and photographs (If possible) from these games.
The reality is that we only have the staff to cover about five or six of these games and we will rely heavily on clubs to furnish us report or even statistics.
Here’s a few pointers on how to do a report:
Get a photograph on your phone of both team sheets before the game (Tell the referee that you are taking it to do a report for the Saffron Gael (You’ll find that our referees are very co-operative)
Write down the scorer’s numbers and the time the score occurred as they happen using a separate column for both sides
This will give you the framework for your report.
Add a wee bit of detail about the goals scored and who played well for both sides.
Refrain from criticising referees in your report or anything that could be seen as controversial.
If you don’t feel confident about doing the reports then just send us the stats.
- Names of teams playing
- Half time score
- Final score
- A few key facts about the game
- Team sheets
- Anything else that you feel relevant
Note to clubs:
It doesn’t have to be your PRO who furnishes these reports or statistics.
Perhaps you could appoint someone who attends most of your games and is not involved in any other capacity.
We will endeavour to get along to some of your games over the season but we quite simply cannot cover them all personally.
Send your reports-stats with photos of team sheets to:
