I disagree in a way - of course it's important to have clear directions to the A&E but it's surely MORE important to proper qualified medical staff on-site. Mostly, this will involve forking out money for St John's Ambulance - something I think TDs should be compelled to do. What if someone had knocked themselves out and swallowed their tongue? What use is a physio then? In the pack that comes from the UKU on 'how to run a tournament' it actually says to give every team these instructions on how to get to the A&E - maybe you missed that? Like you missed the bit about acceptable pitch sizes - pitch 12 was a disgrace, it was like playing on an indoor pitch. When the other team lined up at the start of the game, I thought they had mistaken an old football line or something! Other than that I it was a good tourny - except for the hail...

One broke a collarbone and a second has a suspected broken leg (diagnosed by the physio but I have not heard from team to see if she was right). It I think underlines the importance of the TD having a look for the local A&E to the venue. We were able to spare a helper and a car for the first injury and able to provide directions for the second. With hindsight though clear printed instructions (several copies) would have been better so that teams could visit/pickup/take to the hospital easily. Such severe injuries are thankfully rare but please future TDs ensure you have this information and preferably in an easy to pass on form so that little time is wasted saying left at the next roundabout. My team and I send our best wishes to both players and hope that they recover quickly.
