WORLD FLAG CHAMPIONSHIPS

Thought everyone would like to know that at the World Schools Flag Championships the referees and coaches were asked to vote for the 'best official'. The vote was won by Martin Cockerill (known affectionately as 'Curly Sue') and he received a magnificent, if not over large, trophy.

Martin and Phil were chosen to officiate in the final.

A longer account will follow for next week's Newsflash and an even longer report for Flag Down.

FREE KICK OUT OF BOUNDS

Play: Team A scores a two-point try. After the play, B1 and B2 are flagged for separate unsportsmanlike conduct. As a result, the ensuing free kick is from Team B’s 35-yard line. The free kick goes out of bounds untouched at Team B’s 12-yard line.
Does team B retain the option to take the ball 30 yards from the kick-off spot?

Ruling: Yes. The fact that the free-kick line was moved by penalty does not affect the rule regarding a kick out of bounds (6-2-1 Pen).
