Was I a bit harsh

Under 13's game, last minute. One team holding out in a scrappy end to end 6-6 draw.

Orange win a free kick, easy decision. And a few seconds after blue kicks the ball away into long messy grass a few yards away from the pitch. I cautioned him for delaying the restart of play and am confident and happy with the decision.

Just wanted another opinion given the age and time leg in the game.

You could of warned him and just added time on

The type of deliberate offence everyone is an eye-witness to?

They also witnessed the referee's reaction to this deliberate delaying tactic?

Good man Jack, it's always harder to do what's right rather than what's easy, so fair play to you mate

tough call at that age but absolutely no doubt at all you were correct. It was SO deliberate that I think you did probably have to act, as the post above says, if any room for common sense and a stern word then great, but when its so obviously a challenge to you, caution the wee scamp.
