Pembrokeshire Football League drive to recruit referees

In an attempt to recruit new referees and to try and get clubs involved, the Manderwood Pembrokeshire Football League has agreed to sponsor one person from each club to attend a course to be run by the West Wales Football Association. The cost is £15 per person and if all clubs are involved then the Pembrokeshire League will pay in excess of £500 in their drive to recruit new referees.

Clubs have always been critical of not having a referee and this initiative we hope may attract some people at the clubs who are not playing regularly, ex-players or club officials who wish to take up refereeing. This will of course help those who just wish to be club referees as they will have a full understanding of the Laws. 

We have recently had ex players taking the course and it is great to see them now taking up the whistle!

The course will be run at a local venue over 8x2 hour sessions and usually involves some interesting debates.

Of course anyone else who is interested may apply, the cost of the course of £15 will be refunded as always by the Pembrokeshire League if that person takes up refereeing.
