There are often occasions when there aren't enough FA refs to cover all the fixtures and we then have to provide our own. If you think you can help out, please let me know. Anyone from age 16 upwards can do it. There is a short evening class in September run by the league which we will book you on, and then you will be able to officiate our youth games. We depend on volunteers - you can do it!
