Match report 25 Oct 16
This afternoon I officiated the Yeovil Town FC Under 16 trial games at Huis Park. A great afternoon – 6 20 minute games (last two reduced to 15 mins to fit them in), working as part of a team of 3, so had two middles and four lines.
I do enjoy doing the line, but its (mentally) hard work – you have to think both across the pitch for off-sides, but also up and down the touchline for ball in and out etc. Not sure I’ve mastered working in right angles yet!
Was my first time working with NARs (Neutral assistant Referees) which was helpful – although I did over rule one once and was pretty sure they got another (offside) decision wrong, but I went with them anyway, its all about working as a team.
Great experience, helped by having one of my ref course tutors there to offer feedback and advice (on the whole he was pretty happy with what I was doing) and I really enjoyed the afternoon.
