Referees

Rules Info Fees Links

The page provides information for and about Match Officials within the League.

We endeavour to allocate referees to all 11-a-side matches, but unfortunately this is not always possible, especially with so many referees are leaving the game.

If you are not allocated an official Referee, a competent person should be appointed by the Team Managers. In order to determine the referee, we recommend a coin is tossed between the two Team Managers, with the winning Manager choosing the Referee.

Further down this page you will find various refereeing resources, including League Rules, Referees Fees, and how to apply to Referee in our League and where to go if you would like to become a referee.
