Many thanks go to the match officials for attending fixtures today, as some were unavailable, but the shortage of referee’s should be a major concern for the Cheshire County FA and the Wirral Referees Association. Especially with many teams becoming defunct over a long period of time which is affecting many leagues throughout the county, whose responsibility is to provide cover for all fixtures taking place.
