Hi all,
I did my last game of my first season last night and just wanted to talk about my first season reffing.
This time last year I was 33, at least 2 stone heavier, out of control diabetic with high blood pressure. My fitness level was being proud if I got upstairs not out of breath.
Did the course in June purely as reffing was a way to be paid to be part of football.
Since then I’ve done 96 games as both referee and AR.
The only thing I wish is that I did this years ago. Like a lot of people I was hesitant to start this being mid 30s.
But, I have been appointed to a league cup final and also a county cup final, both as AR.
Today to top off a great first season I found out I’ve been promoted from level 7-6 and 4w-3w.
Sorry if this posting seems braggy but this is the only place where I can share, where people will understand
