Friday afternoon I was padding a bit of time and checked my personal email. I found I had received my first appointment of the new season!
I have been appointed Referee for the FA Cup Extra Qualifier Goodrich vs Meir KA on the 16th August. This was a massive surprise and one I’m really chuffed with.  Last season I received a re appointment to the middle of an Extra Qualifier but to be appointed by default is superb.
it does feel a bit odd to receive this already considering the Contrib fixtures aren’t out until this week. Also it will be at most my 2nd game of the season as I’m away on the opening weekend (I worked the start of the season out wrong!!!)
I just need to keep checking the FA Website and my inbox all week for the Contrib & Supply league appointments ;).
