Match Officials (Page 8)

Yeovil Town head to Sutton United for a midweek clash and the Referee assigned to the game is Mr Callum Walchester.

HANG ON A MINUTE!

I know that name… you know that name, that’s right he’s our first occurrence of repeat referee this season.

Mr Walchester was in charge of the Glovers’ first win of the campaign, a 1-0 win over Braintree in August.

If you recall, he dished out four yellow cards on that occasion; Mr Jarvis and Mr Nouble got in a spot on trouble, on your best behaviour, lads!

He also ruled out a Sam Pearson goal after something of a scramble in the second half, but a foul on Aaron Jarvis squandered that one and there was no real arguments from anyone in Green and White.

He does have some new friends with him this time though, he’s got Stuart Butler and Stephen Brown waving flags and Adam Merchant waving subs boards. 

There’s Mr Walchester, top right… keeping an eager eye on any shenanigans in the box. 

Matt Robinson strikes at goal for Braintree.

Yeovil Town head north this Saturday, to Boundary Park, Oldham to be precise and as we all know, you can’t have a game of professional football without a referee.

Thankfully, we have one lined up – Mr Paul Marsden.

Mr Marsden has been in charge of a trio of National League games so far this season and hasn’t been afraid to reach into his pocket.

19 yellow cards (although two were for the same Hartlepool player) is a fair return.

We haven’t seen Mr Marsden since the behind-closed-doors era, he took charge of a rather uneventful 2-0 win over Altrincham at Huish Park were Messrs Murphy and Dagnall scored Yeovil goals.

If you the calendar way back, he could also be found awarding a penalty to Macclesfield Town – against Yeovil – in November 2018. Tom James breathed a bit too heavily on Elliot Durrell and down he went (See below). Former Glover Michael Rose did the rest from the spot.

Given his location, it’s no surprise he’s taken charge of more Oldham games, including twice last season.

He will be assisted by Jack Nield and Thomas Harland, whilst Ben Robinson is the fourth official for the game.
