Gresley Rovers 6 - 2 Graham Street Prims

I got this game the Friday before, so basically less than 24 hours. Leicestershire RDO phoned me up and asked if I was doing anything, and suggested I phone the league. I got this game. I later found out that Gresley were a Unibond outfit last season and have probably the highest attendances in the league!

I arrived just before 1.30 pm and realised what I was about to be officiating on! Biggest game I'll have been involved in. Spectators had to pay £6 to get in! Referee's pre-match was very extensive (ie. good!) but we had to run right backs, which I didn't like (although I did do much better than I thought I would). He had buzzer flags too.. cooool

I felt I had a really good game. The only thing / comments I got from spectators were something along the lines of I only gave a goal kick (they wanted corner) as the goalkeeper must be my dad lol (if that's the worst I can't have done too bad!). Flagging was crisp and, in my opinion, my technique was really good. This was also backed up by the referee, who said he thought I was 'excellent' and should go on the league regularly. The referee and other assistant were both Derby fans, and Derby lost to Ipswich so that was funny! ;)
