The referee who, after a recent match in which Widnes beat Dewsbury by a point, later wrote to warren Jowett apologising for an error which cost the Rams the game.

We're in for an entertaining one then? Some incident always occurs when he's incharge.

"Dear Matt,

Sorry for turning up on Sunday....."

Please continue, but remain within the AUP.

I think he got the tackle count wrong and we scored the last minute try on the 7th tackle. Some confusion whether he called a zero tackle or not (it clearly wasn't a zero tackle scenario!) at the time. At least he was big enough to put his hand up and admit his mistake and I wish more refs would do that.

Presumably it was typed out as Im sure ref's struggle with such hard tasks as joined up hand writing!
