Have you spent many years with the same league, only because of the "Better the devil you know" concept?
​Why not join the amateur football combination as a referee?
The Amateur Football Combination Referees' Committee deals with the appointment and recruitment of referees and all matters pertaining to the welfare and involvement of referees within the league.

Please note that it is our policy that Referees' Contact Details are not published on the website, but they may be found within the League Handbook, and any updates and amendments are included within the weekly fixture bulletin.

Referees' Panel - How We Work​

The League is always working to get as many referees on our panel as we can, to maximise the number of games to which we can appoint independent officials. ​

Appointments/Before the Game

Please ensure the Referees' Secretary has your up-to-date availability. We don't want to give you a game if you aren't available, nor leave you without if you are.
  • As far as we are able, we will appoint suitable referees to all games. We are keen to provide challenging games for experienced referees, and also help develop new referees and referees seeking promotion.
  • The full list of fixtures and referee appointments are distributed to clubs and referees 10-12 days in advance of fixtures.
  • Clubs should confirm fixture details with referees no later than five days in advance. If a club leave a message for you, please make sure you call them back. If a club hasn't confirmed three days before a match, please report it to the Referees Secretaries.

Match Day

  • Turn up at least 30 minutes before kickoff, to give yourself time to prepare.
  • Ensure the home club provide you with the match ball (and a spare) and you have checked the pitch, goalposts, flags etc.
  • Give pre-match briefings to teams if you feel comfortable doing so, and be pro-active in involving the team captains and/or managers in controlling the game.
  • Please accept club hospitality when possible (and tell us if it isn't offered!).
  • Ensure all misconduct is reported to the relevant County Football Association.
  • Ensure you always have a league handbook with you, in case of problems.
  • Ensure you are given your Match Fee before the game (and tell us if you have problems)
  • Make sure teams provide you with a team-sheet showing players names - they MUST DO THIS if they want to take the opportunity of using Rolling Subs. 

After the Game

  • ASAP please ensure you send in a report card (email or pre-paid post) for all games to Ian Andrews.
  • Please be objective on any low mark reports clubs may submit. The AFC Secretary will be happy to discuss them.
  • Please recommend any senior XI players you consider worthy of the Representative Team.
  • Please liase with the Referees' Secretaries on any issues regarding the league. Good or bad, we want to hear from you.

It's Your League Too

  • If you know of any other referees who may wish to join our panel, spread the word, and if you want some Recruitment Leaflets to pass on, just ask for them.
  • Where possible, provide the league with an E-Mail address for correspondence.
