Three League games against Dorking and we’ve won one and lost two. But, having also beaten them in the Trophy, we have a 100% record on grass.
Tomorrow’s referee will be Aji Ajibola from Erith in Kent. He is a Sales Account Manager for Canon UK and, sturdily built, he is an amateur boxer. He is Vice Chairman of the BAME Referee Support Group and a serving member of the Football Association in a voluntary role on the FA Council as a National Game Football Communities Representative. He is also the Referee Committee Member for the Kent County FA.
His most recent involvement with a Southend fixture was to call off the proposed away match at a very soggy Wealdstone. This match will complete a double for him as he took charge of the away fixture at Meadowbank near the start of the season.
He has refereed us four times at National League level, having been given a mid-season promotion the season before last. His first ever league match at this level was our away 1-1 draw at Aldershot. We also drew on the bookings with our two going to Lopata and Neal. Another in the first half of last season for him was our home match against Altrincham – a 2-0 victory with yellows to Dennis and 2 of theirs.
His third Southend match was last season's comfortable 3-0 home win over Scunthorpe. Yellows for Kensdale and three of theirs. Finally, this season, that game at Dorking for a 2-1 defeat with one yellow apiece (Kensdale again with ours).
This season, he has done 18 matches at this level or above including EFL Trophy matches at Crawley, Reading and Wycombe with 81 yellows and 2 reds. His most recent match was a 7 yellow card tussle between Woking and Kidderminster last Tuesday.
Assistants are Matthew Fletcher, a security and enforcement man from Hemel Hempstead, and Valentine Anekwe from Bromley. Fourth Official, Michael Scott, makes the short journey from Stanford-le-Hope
