Herbert Mensah, President and Board Chairman of Ghana Rugby, yesterday had a productive meeting with Doug Hampshire, an RFU Level 5 Match Official.

Doug recently moved to Ghana with his wife and he has joined Deloitte as Management Consultant.

Doug will become actively involved in Match Officiating in Ghana and hopefully in the West African Region and indeed with Rugby in Africa.

Doug started playing rugby at the age of 13 with Effingham and Leatherhead RFC. On moving to Bath, UK to go to school he captained the schools U16 team and then went on to captain the 1st XV in his final year. After finishing his Gap year Doug moved to Durham and played university Rugby for one season until shoulder dislocations ended his playing career.

After completing the ERLA and recovering from his shoulder dislocation Doug started refereeing at University and was initially graded at Level 10 in July 2015.
