ISLE OF MAN Rugby on the Island has been strengthened by the formations of three new Clubs. An Island team played the District XV and hopefully there will be a return fixture next season.

SENDING OFF THE FIELD OF PLAY There is a charge of £5·00 payable by Clubs for each case towards the costs of the Disciplinary Sub-Committees.

COACHING Two more coaches achieved the RFU qualification and the County is sponsoring a further three to cOurses this summer.
