A question pls chaps

Can an 18 year old ref take a middle in a league game involving an U18 team in grass roots youth football?

I’m thinking at 18 the ref is considered an adult but normally in youth football the ref has to be at least a year older than the age group he’s officiating over 🤔

Yes. My Sunday morning league is usually u13-u16 for me. I'm 29.

The clue is in the at least a year older. That's the minimum. No maximum.

I know in my CFA that as soon as you turn 16 you can ref any age group but until 16 you have to do at least a year below so you shouldn’t have any problems

Similar to my cfa once you turn 16 you can ref any age however before that you must ref at least 2 years below.
