Been appointed to a Welsh Football League Division Three game in November, done one higher in the middle but had assistants for that and this will still have club officials. Going to be an interesting one but looking forward to it. Nice to get one that high that's not just being an AR.

Good work mate. It amazes me that at this level you still don't get NARs. But I am sure it'll be an experience. 
I am hoping to get more welsh league games in the coming seasons. They asked for refs to do the line for Sunday games at youth level this season but I have just had the one game so far. Keen for more.
What grade are you currently? 3b (old welsh 6) or are you in the English system?

No the levels were same, I had this with the WWFA when I affiliated down here. No distrespect to welsh football but to suggest that the standard of comparative football is higher in Wales is higher than in England isn't right. The levels are the same, I think it was just something that came down from higher in the Welsh FA.

Youth ref in England takes the place of newly qualified in Wales - 9 is 8 for some reason and throws the whole system out.
the welsh one out of date now however.
