Club Linesman Workshop and Referee Seminar

As part of the League Development Plan, the League held a Club Linesman Workshop on 12^th January followed by a Seminar for our panel of referees on 19^th January.

The Club Linesman Workshop proved beneficial and allowed an active Referee to discuss matters with Clubs whilst Management Members were also able to contribute. All clubs attending received a free football.

The following week our Referees attended a Seminar held in conjunction with the Kent Invicta League with guest speaker Phil Crossley ex Premier and Football League Referee.
