Ref, Referee, Match Official

It’s not every day Yeovil Town are reffed by an actual FA Cup Final official, let alone one that’s also a current FIFA International referee.

That’s exactly what we have on Tuesday night when Kirsty Dowle takes charge of the game against Wealdstone.

Dowle, from Kent, took charge of the 2022 Women’s FA Cup final at Wembley, Chelsea beating Man City 3-2 after Extra Time, in front of nearly 50,000 people. 

A year later, she also took charge of the Women’s League Cup Final. 

She was added to the FIFA International list in 2020, just six years after starting her referee career.

She’s taken part in an exchange programme with the Japanese FA and was a lead official at the Women’s Under 17s European Championships in the summer. That, is some CV!

This season, six games have seen 24 yellow cards issued and one red.

As far as we can tell, she has never refereed a Yeovil Town (or a Wealdstone) game before.

She will be assisted by David Nicholson and James Hooper, Bailey Walker will be in charge of the dugouts.
