The Ref Stop

Don't quite think he is 17

The Ref Stop
If you're doing a youth game, I know you have no power to stop a player playing, but if a 17 year old claims he's 12 surely you can intervene?

i assume all youth players have identity cards for the leagues that they play in so, presumably, his birth certificate has been checked at some point by a club official.

Not the referees place to intervene, i would say, though no harm in mentioning it in your match report if you feel uncomfortable with it, i guess
