Cheshire FA have contacted us to ask that those who have not yet registered to referee for Season 2011/20112 must do so as soon as possible to ensure they are affiliated in time for the forthcoming season.

The list of those yet to register is long and has been emailed to all officials by John Davies.

If you are not sure if this includes you please contact John Davies jhdaviesref@btinternet.com

We have attached a simple guide to show you how to do this online. It takes no more than 5 minutes to complete.
