RugbyFirst
Over the past few years during the initial development of the RugbyFirst website considerable difficulties were experienced. Over the past 12 months the technicians at the RFU have worked hard to develop a simplified version, with increased functionality of the RugbyFirst website. Easy to access and use. We as a Leagues Committee propose to use RugbyFirst in conjunction with the Miller Homes website to publish all our fixtures, results and tables.
All fixtures for both the RFU and Miller Homes Leagues are now on the RugbyFirst website and can be accessed on your Club websites by accessing in the following manner. First put “http://www.rfu.com/clubs” into your search engine.
This brings up a welcome to RugbyFirst page.
FYI - If you are looking for a club that you are not a member of you will have to use the ‘Club Search’ option.
To access your own Club click on “Club Search”
Then put your Club name in “Find Club or Society” then click on go. Your Club will come up with possible others. Click on Go and this takes you onto your own RugbyFirst Club site. Once you have done this for the first time save the URL in your favourites to enable you to miss out the steps above.

How to find your Club’s Fixtures
When you’ve accessed your own site click on Club details and scroll down to fixtures.
Ensure the date covers the next season, i.e. alter to 2010, and click on all teams to identify which teams you wish to check then “Show fixtures”. This will show all RFU and Miller Homes fixtures.
As the season progresses the results will all be inputted by your individual League Secretary, usually on a Saturday evening which will result in an updated League table on your site immediately. No work will be required by anyone from any Clubs. If anyone would like an example of seeing the tables they can access last seasons by changing the year from 2009 – 2010 to 2008 – 2009. This will then give you all the results for last season and by clicking on under Competition it will bring up the League table. This can be altered to give a short or long format.
For next season:
If you want to see the club details (home or away) then click on the name highlighted in blue. If you want to see the league table then click on the competition name highlighted in blue; you can view the table in a long or short format.
Last Season’s Results:Each week the results of all matches will be inputted by the individual League Secretary, usually on a Saturday evening which will result in an updated League table on your RugbyFirst site and rfu.com immediately, these results are also forwarded to the local and national press by both the Miller Homes Committee and the RFU’s regional press agents. No work will be required by anyone from any Clubs. If anyone would like an example of seeing the tables they can access last seasons by changing the year from 2009 – 2010 to 2008 – 2009. This will then give you all the results for last season and by clicking on under Competition it will bring up the League table. This can be altered to give a short or long format.
No work will be required by anyone including anyone from Pitchero. However the Clubs using Pitchero will still have their RugbyFirst website updated.Although not relevant for the Miller Homes regulations it is worth us pointing out that all player registration for adult and youth players, RFU and CB handbook information, Club Golden roles and Ticket allocation calculations are also completed through the RugbyFirst club site.
