Got in early and had my first 5 to 4 assessment last weekend. Reckon the 25 degree heat gave me a decent shout at demonstrating my fitness at least but was a bit of a gamble as this was my first middle at Step 6.
Started with a 73 which I'm pretty happy with. Keeps me in the game at least! Praised for my match control, my judicious playing of advantage and for my sprinting / credible positioning. Picked up (rightly) on missing a couple of flags from my assistants (one for a 'surprising' offside and one for a GK taken from beyond the line). Also, probably fairly, for too little variation in whistle tone and,a little unfairly IMO, for my assistants missing two kit infringements which I subsequently rectified.
Hopefully future games will afford more opportunity to perform in a challenging environment. Very aware from the experiences of others on here that even averaging 73 is no guarantee of progression these days ....
