1st one

I enjoyed my trip out today carrying out my first Supply League assessment of the season.

It was closely contested game settled by a single goal and the referee was kept quite busy. Meanwhile my beloved Leeds United went down 2-1 on their return to the Championship (old Division 2).

The last time we lost on the opening day of the season, we went on to win promotion. I can't see lightning striking twice unfortunately. Now it's time for a reasonably early night as I'm leading a Basic Course for New Referees at the County HQ tomorrow.

I've had one of the instructors on the phone twice late at night this week as he checks his understanding of what's required. I am impressed by his preparation and hope we have a smooth passage over the next two Sundays ...
