Happy Friday everyone . A busy night ahead at Secondary School Comp tonight and we are all over the place in school gyms due to a stadium event . This makes the logistics of referee appointments really tricky and because of this we are struggling to get enough coverage . If you have not yet responded to Mert with availability for tonight and can help please do so . We have 5 junior games at the stadium at 4pm and only 1 referee there so far . Thanks everyone you are appreciated.
