I'm the R and I handle the opening game toss. I blow the whistle, step in and throw it, then try to avoid the players scrambling. The tip didn't go very for and about 2 seconds after A1 controls it B1 grabs it for a held ball. I immediately blow... well I start to blow but I don't have my whistle in. The two players are starting to look at me waiting for my whistle - as am I. Fortunately, my partner sees my floundering for my whistle and takes over. The HC got a big kick out of it.

Life of a first year ref I guess.
