We’ve won more than we’ve lost against Dagenham and Redbridge both in League matches and various cup/trophy games.
On to the officials, Saturday’s referee has multiple and diverse sporting interests and, fittingly, comes from Rugby. He is Jacob Miles and should not be found wanting for fitness – he is a marathon runner and triathlete. Three years ago he was from the Brighton area and working as a Referee Administrator for Sussex FA, amongst other things. More recently he was in the running for the Milton Keynes referee of the year award (and may have won it for all I know). He also umpires tennis at a high standard, having worked at 18 Grand Slams world-wide and this year at Wimbledon he was a Chair Umpire (equivalent to a middle in football).
This is his second season as a National League Referee and in that time he has done 24 matches producing a low-ish 59 yellow cards and high-ish 5 reds. This season’s 11 matches have seen just 25 yellows and 2 reds and include the earlier 7-4 Cup win for Halifax and Dagenham’s defeat at Woking. Also, more recently, he took charge of our Friday night match at Grimsby when a very early goal condemned us to a 1-0 defeat - yellows for Egbri and Ferguson and one of theirs. I thought he did okay.
He was also an Assistant for our 2-0 defeat at Portsmouth back in 2018/19.
Assisting will be Grzegorz Kornasiewicz from Witney and James Hurst from London. The latter was also assisting at the only other Trophy match in our club’s history and the former at our match at Wealdstone. Standing by as Fourth Official will be Hugh Gilroy from Chiswick who was Kornasiewicz’s fellow Assistant at Wealdstone.
