Hi guys,
I’ve signed up to this forum anonymously to make a post relating to a County Cup Final I’ve been appointed as referee for.
The reason I’m posting anonymously is because this is not only the first County Cup final I’ve refereed it’s also the first open age game I’ve ever referred with neutral ARs (and a 4th man obviously). One of my ARs I know has previously viewed this site, and I don’t partiularly want them to know that this is the first game I’ve done like this as I want them to be full of confidence in me as a referee.
I’m going for 7-6 this season and was quite shocked to be appointed referee for the final in question but hopefully it means I’m doing something right!
What I’m after is just any advice you can offer. Advice about the prematch with my assistants, advice on using neutral ARs and a 4th man, advice on refereeing cup finals in general and how they differ to refereeing normal games (if they do).
Any advice you could offer will be gratefully received.
