    They think its all over - it is now!

    After 45 seasons in the middle I have decided to hang up my whistle. I have been approached to be a match delegate, and to do both is not allowed. So as I am now 62, I think I will take up this offer. It keeps me in the game. I will miss being in the middle though!
