Coaches David Lawrie, Kevin Cale and Mike Thomson assisted while Matt Conger (Hyundai A League) demonstrated the pathway for referees. Further coaching on the Sunday was followed by an opportunity to referee a game as part of a team of three at the Central Football Representative Training Camp. Coaching notes gave invaluable feedback to each referee together with suggestions for further work. The Academy was very positive and helped improve the relationship with the players and football coaches who were also part of the weekend. Thanks to Mandy Musa for her report.

Players crowd around and as you ask them to leave your AR shouts at them aggressively using foul language. What now? Referees must remain calm and composed. Move the players away.
