REFEREE CLUB GEAR

To ensure you remain kitted out with everything you need to represent our Club with pride, let us know if you're missing any gear or if it needs replacing. Check out what you can get below, then order on the form at the bottom of the page.

All issued gear remains the property of Bay of Plenty Rugby, with the exception of “personal items” such as socks, whistles and cards. Gear must be returned if a referee does not re-register for the following season, or if Bay of Plenty Rugby requests the gear be returned.
