Devonshire-born Lee Swabey is the man in the middle for Saturday’s clash between Yeovil Town and Altrincham.

Swabey, who has been officiating for the most part in the EFL drops down into the National League for the first time this season.

It’s a name that Glovers fans might recognise as he’s reffed our matches eight times throughout his career, most recently just last season in the FA Cup.

He took charge of the Aldi v M&S 2nd round clash as Yeovil took on Wrexham.

He didn’t book Percy Pig, or Cuthbert the Caterpillar on that occasion.

But Jake Wannell and Charlie Cooper both had their names taken.

Of the eight games Mr Swabey has taken charge of for Yeovil, we’ve won three, drawn two and lost three.

He did send off Liam Walsh 16 minutes into a game against Cambridge in 2016 and took charge of a feisty game in the LDV Checkatrade Pizza Paint Pot Bristol Motors trophy between Yeovil and MK Dons earlier that same year.

The Glovers won 4-1, scored two penalties and Samir Carruthers saw red that night for the visitors (below). Ouch.

Mr Swabey will be assisted by Kevin Morris down one side and flying up and down the other will be Steven Plane. 

Samuel Fudge (who was an assistant at Huish Park for the opening day game against Hartlepool) swaps his flag for a Substitutes board instead.

Modernised club badge still feels pretty soulless. Hope there’s an update, where the club motto, and the lion is brought back somewhere on the design.
