At the conclusion of the game, you and the opposition Team Manager need to make yourselves available to the Umpire(s):

• Immediately after the match, the Umpire(s) will be in the Umpires room completing the match report and B&F voting. Please allow them time to get this done, while waiting close by to the Umpires room
• Once done, the Umpire(s) will ask you to sign the match report (co-signed by both Team Managers)
• In the event of any player/official reports by the Umpire(s), you will be asked to co-sign these also – Please ensure any such reports are communicated to the club immediately after the match! You can do this by contacting the President, Secretary, Incident Manager or Team Manager Co-ordinator
• The Umpire(s) will give you:
  • Your copy of the signed match report
  • Your team’s signed team sheet
  • Any arising player/official reports by the Umpire(s)
• If you are the home team, make sure you get your match football back

At this point you will also need to collect your Timekeeper & Goal Umpire score cards and Best & Fairest voting envelopes. You should now have all the paperwork:

• Your team’s signed team sheet                  from Umpire(s)

Don’t forget to add the goal scorers before submitting!

• Opposition team’s unsigned team sheet     from opposition Team Manager
• Match report (your copy)                             from Umpire(s)
• Timekeeper score card *                             from your Timekeeper
• Goal Umpire score card *                            from your Goal Umpire
• Best & Fairest voting envelopes x3 *           from Coach and parents
• Any player/officials reports**                       from Umpire(s)

*Applicable to teams U11+
**These will hopefully be a very rare occurrence.

Finally, ensure that you have collected all the bibs, Goal Umpire coat and flags, the 2 match footballs etc. so that your Team Manager Kit is complete and not missing any items. It is a good idea to do a thorough check prior to leaving the ground.
