📣 Update for Tomorrow Evening 📣

Unfortunately, due to a UEFA appointment, Anthony Taylor has had to withdraw from tomorrow evening’s session. We completely understand and wish Anthony all the very best with his officiating duties.

✅ Our AGM and Development Evening will still go ahead as planned and promises to be a really worthwhile night.

There will be plenty of learning opportunities, including an interactive training session that we can all benefit from.

✨ Thank you for joining our March Development Evening! ✨

A huge thank you to everyone who came along last night - what a brilliant session. We were fortunate to have Alex James, SG2 Assistant Referee, share his insights on handling pressure and performing at our best when the stakes are high. A genuinely inspiring and practical talk.

Our President also put us to the test with a deep dive into Law 2, reminding us just how well (or not!) we really know our footballs. A fun and eye‑opening challenge.

Finally, we said a heartfelt goodbye to two long‑standing members, Cash and Jade, as they head off to new adventures in Nottingham and Australia. Thank you both for everything you’ve brought to South Hampshire Referees - your energy, commitment, and friendship will be missed. We wish you nothing but success and happiness in the chapters ahead.

Here’s to continued learning, supporting one another, and growing as a refereeing community 🌟
