Referee Shortage

By Kenneth BARKER-GRAHAM

No ref - You Sort

Can all clubs please note that due to a Refereeing Crisis throughout football we are endeavouring to try to cover each game with a qualified referee. However this may mean that some teams will not play some weekends to help relieve the pressure (I will try to even this out) and those teams that remain are to note [b]that if by Thursday there is no referee listed then it is unlikely that there will be a referee for that game.

Therefore the 2 teams have to then agree to someone refereeing the game. --- NO Games will be cancelled for not agreeing referees.

If things then change before the Saturday we will try to give a referee to those games without.

Please bare with us and help us out wherever possible by using your contacts to get a ref for the games and if you know anyone who is a referee for other leagues get them to join us and any ex players etc who may want to keep part of the game encourage them to sign up for future refereeing courses.

Let us get through this season by helping each other and hopefully things will improve.

Where next?
