Disciplinary Fees To Increase

The Chairman of the Dorset & Wilts. Disciplinary Panel, Philip Kennedy, has sent a letter to all clubs, informing them that the fee to have a case heard before a disciplinary panel will be £70.00 as of 6 February, 2017.  Furthermore, if clubs or players do not enter a plea and do not declare whether they will be attending they will be charged £120.00 if the charge is upheld.

There is an expectation that all clubs will declare what the player's plea is and whether they wish to attend the hearing.  However there are times where the Chairman of the panel can, at his discretion, demand that a player and or club attend.  

Clubs are also reminded that they have a duty under RFU Regulations to report any sending off within 48 hours.  Too many clubs are failing to notify the Disciplinary Secretary, Abby Kennedy, about red cards.  Should clubs fail to do this in future, it is very possible that the disciplinary panel will increase the fee to £120 in any event.

The Chairman of the Disciplinary Panel also wishes every club all the very best for the rest of the season and hopes that he won’t being seeing too many of you before the panel anyway.
