first cup final today

[p4yno]

My first cup final today. I was a fourth official. Game was played at Sutton United FC. Great day, lovely weather.

The match day programme and medal will be one for the collection. The appointed referee and assistants were great, got lots of advice. Invaluable experience, especially as I have a middle for a cup final in a couple of weeks.

Well done - any trouble?

Hooray! Congratulations on your appointment.

No trouble at all. Very uneventful from a Fourth official perspective. Handled the subsitutions and caught the sun.

Similar experience at my County Cup Final yesterday as 4th official

Hope you took precautions and used plenty of factor 20!

No I looked very pink when I got home ... all down one side

I've found recently that I've been getting tan lines - though not ones that show you've been to the beach! Nice dark knees and pale watch-shaped rings around my wrists! (closest smilies I could find to sunburnt!)

Yup, tan marks on both wrists is a bit of a giveaway for how we spend our spare time!!
