U18 Premier League

[IrkRef]

As we enter the start of the season I've already had 3 appointments as AR to U18 games. I've had two at Birmingham City in Div 2 and then in 2 weeks I've got Villa vs Spurs! I'm only 16 and was just wondering if these appointments are expected for someone my age or if anybody else is getting them as a level 7?

 

[Brian Hamilton]

Yes they are to be expected and yes I had many as a level 7.

I've got 4 coming up this season so far, first one on the 26th of September!

I have had 1 middle and 1 line already at Colchester Academy, I have another line on Saturday. I think these games are given mainly to younger referees to aid their own development

 

[IrkRef]

Jack M you have had an u18 middle? They are meant for l4 or above

 

[Jack M]

No I had a U14 middle and two U16 lines. Sorry for the confusion. The U18 games at Colchester are usually refereed by a L4 with L6 assistants

 

[IrkRef]

Ah okay that makes more sense, I did Colchester U18 on the line vs Birmingham in August! Hopefully you will get some U18 lines its a great standard.

 

[Jack M]

Hopefully I will but the U16 team are actually very good.
