I assume they will use the same officials for this match, if it's postponed to Tuesday, or whenever.
As it stands the referee is Farai Hallam from Redbridge. He has a top role as Premier League Academy Manager having previously worked for the FA for 8 years in various senior roles leading up to National Referee Manager. A promising footballer, who aspired to represent Zimbabwe, he was at Stevenage as an academy player and turned out at Boots and Laces in a 0-1 victory for them. Injuries ended his playing career before it got going.
He is currently one level below National League level but given his recent appointments, including this one (and his contacts), I'd say he was odds on for a mid-season promotion next month.
He's already done one National League match (just 1 yellow card) and was appointed to a second that was postponed.
He lined at Roots Hall for the Maidenhead game and also for the away match at Aldershot, both last season. I've seen him referee a few times and he's been generally okay.
Assisting will be Ryan Head from near Norwich and Alex Mathieson from Aldershot with Jack Willmore from Clacton-on-Sea as Fourth Official.
