Below we see top local up and coming referee Gary Suggate eventually finds a race he can enter which gives him a chance of winning. He has tried marathons in London,. Stockholm and New York. His next big challenge, after this years London marathon, will be the level 4 fitness test in August. Ladbrokes are offering 6/1 for him to pass. Footnote: he didn’t win the race below, The runner with the yellow top 2nd from left pipped him at the post!! Apparently he was gutted and refused to talk to the press afterwards! |

Note for all referees re: armed forces matches
Here's an important note for all referees officiating in Armed Forces matches.......
Recently I was in the middle for the Royal Logistics Corps Minor Units Cup Semi-Final at RMB Chivenor, between Commando Logistics Regiment (Chivenor) v 51 Port Squadron (Southampton).
I cautioned two CLR Chivenor players and duly took their names and ranks. I sent the cautions off to the Army FA but received a reply today asking for the players Regimental Numbers! I hadn't a clue and I'd never thought of asking the players for that during the game.
Luckily Justin Proctor (Percy) played in that game and he has helped me out by supplying me with the players numbers as requested by the Army FA.
The game itself went to extra-time and penalties. It finished 2-2 after 90 minutes and no further goals were scored in extra-time. CLR Chivenor ran out 5-4 winners on penalties in the end. Percy Proctor stepped up for a sudden death penalty with the scores level at 4-4 and did the business!
