Match reports are available from the homepage of the website.

Scroll down the home page to the match centre, click on the match you are interested in, and see what information has been published by that team.

A full match report will have a timeline for the match, a text report and maybe some pictures and videos. A good (if long) example is here for the under 14s recent win over Bishops Stortford.

Team Managers can publish their own articles, photos and videos for matches. You can also add your timeline for matches using the Pitchero Manager app. either during the match or afterwards. This allows you to enter tries, assists, conversions, penalties, drop goals, cards subs and player of the match as it happens.

To add tries, conversions or other events for a match:

  • Open the Manager App. on your phone
  • Tap Match Centre at the bottom left.
  • At the top, tap the team you are interested in.
  • Tap the fixture you want to add events to
  • Tap Score & Events
  • Tap the blue 'Add +' button
  • Tap the event you want from the list (can scroll down)
  • Tap First or Second Half
  • Enter an estimated time (number of minutes from start of match) that the event occurred and tap Next
  • Tap the team
  • If you selected Hampstead, then you can pick the player who did the event (e.g. scored the try). If you don't know who this is you can tap 'Skip' at the top right and it will be marked as an unknown player.
  • Event will be added

It takes about 20 seconds to add each event, and when you do, it automatically adds the score and publishes the latest information to the Hampstead RFC website.

For your next fixture, give this a go for your team.

You need a fixture for each team, so if you have an 'A' and a 'B' teams playing at the same time against the same club, then add a fixture with the same details as the one already setup, and select your different Hampstead teams for each fixture.

A couple of tips:

  • You can easily edit the events by just tapping on one and changing the information contained.
  • After you select Score and Events you can set half time and full time during the match by tapping the 'Update Score' blue button.
  • Also in the Update Score screen is the option to cancel, postpone or abandon the match which will be published to the club app for all affected players or parents in their activity tab
  • It helps if team selection is done before the match and players confirm that they are available. This is more easily done on the website than in the manager app
  • To account for age groups team selection can be done based on the number of players e.g. u13 use a 13 player formation, u7s a four player formation. Select the number of players then formation

If you have a problem with fixtures information for your team, then contact your team manager.

Team Managers can contact John McGuinness for help with updating fixtures and match reports.
