North Midlands Society of Rugby Football Referees: Est. 1920
How long have you been refereeing? Since about 1987
First match you can remember? Swanage and Wareham U10, I can’t remember the opposition!
Why did you start refereeing? I was coaching an U14 side in Dorset and society referees were pretty scarce on a Sunday morning in those days!
Favourite venue to referee at? I like several different places, so no real favourite
Best refereeing moment so far? Yellow-carding a player-coach for repeated dissent. I won’t say who..!
The last game you refereed? Moseley Ladies vs Bury St Edmunds league match
Pre-match meal? I don’t really eat before a game
Any pre-match rituals or superstition? None
One piece of advice for new referees? Always look confident, most players will then buy into your decision
