Good Evening All

Just felt I should mention the referee for tonight’s game Dean Watson.

Dean deserves massive credit for getting tonight’s game played.

On his arrival there was a light fog but nowhere near bad enough for the game to be postponed and he declared game on.
Shortly after this decision the fog got progressively worse and the match looked in doubt but the forecast was for it to clear by 8.00 After consulting with both clubs he agreed to delay the start first until 8.00 pm and then when 8.15 when the match was perfect ably playable.

All credit to the referee who wanted to get the match played.
To cap this he also had an excellent game and I have put a report into MOAS accordingly.

Copy of my report in Moas

It is a pleasure to write a glowing report about tonight's referee Dean Watson, he was thoroughly professional from his arrival to departure and had an excellent performance on the field. He allowed common sense to prevail in his decision whether or not to postpone the match due to the swirling fog and allowed a late kick off to allow it to clear as per the forecast. Well dome Mr Watson.

Kind Regards
