Referees' Committee

​Referee appointments

Referee appointments are made by the Referees' Committee, and in particular by the Referees' Secretaries,  John Fowler (North divisions) &  Rod Davies (Premier to Intermediate Division South)  & Anthony Green  (Divisions 1 to 6 South) 

Appointments are generally made 10-12 days in advance of games, and a full list of fixtures (including referee appointments) are sent out to all clubs, officers and referees by post or email. These fixtures are also published on this website. This timescale allows us to ensure that clubs and referees receive their details at least a week in advance of games.
Increasingly, young and new referees are being advised to find a "mentor", and experienced referee designed to support and guide them in those early matches, and develop a friendship that will hopefully continue into a long-standing support.

The mentor is there to praise a referee's good points, help him or her to identify and improve any areas of weakness and to assist him or her in improving their performance levels as a referee and as an assistant referee.
​
For more details on mentoring please contact your County Referee Development Officer.
