Around 12 County Finals, 4 District Finals, League Cup/Trophy Finals for every league within spitting distance and 4 officials per final, so most people get involved in one or two this time of year.How many cups are they ? Seems like everyone of you have 2 or 3 finals, is there a cup for every neighbourhood ?
We have 1200 referees in our County but a lot are not active and many have done most of the finals up for grabs. They operate across 25 leagues (if not more), so you can see why a lot of people get a lot of cup finals.@Brian Hamilton @Russell Jones
Ok I get it now, to give you an idea of the situation here, we are something like 220 refs for only 4 cup finals (OA, U19, U17, U15), so having one appointment is a big deal
But therefore, all the team's of the District are involved and by the time we reach the 1/4 finals, all is left is the top of the top of regional level football.
I had the chance to be central referee to one U15 QF and AR to one U19 QF.
No appointment for the SFs, so maybe I can dream of one on the big day
