I’ve refereed in the cold and wet before, and I’ve refereed in the baking heat before - and paused the game for drinks breaks as appropriate. Ive ref-Ed in hail before, but yesterday the hail was biblical.
About 5 mins after kick of it started to hail, and hail heavily. Normally hail is a one minute wonder, but I reckon this hail storm, with accompanying wind , lasted what seemed like 10 mins, it was painful (and cold)
We were on a pitch a good 5 to 10 minute trudge from the changing rooms and any shelter, so we would have had nowhere to go had I stopped the game, like a few players were requesting, so we played on, but it got me wondering if we should stop for hail?
Anyone had any experiences of hail, and what they did, that they’d be happy to share.
