Such sad news within our football family, condolences to all his family and our football family.

RIP

It is with a heavy heart that BAFRA share the news that one of our officials sadly passed away today.

The official collapsed while covering a game and was tended to by medics present at the game, and then further by nhs paramedics.

While BAFRA works with the officials’ next of kin, and its membership, we will not be making/giving any further comments and ask the Britball community to not speculate or share news out of respect.

We would like to thank all those at the game who offered their help, gave treatment, and to the emergency services who attened.

We have been informed that BAFRA have been unable to provide a ref team for our home game vs Birmingham Bulls next Sunday, 31st May, kick off 3pm.

If you are a BAFCA level 1 coach or above and would be able to help out we will cover costs, match fee and provide food and drink on the day.

Please reach out if you can help!!
