Yeovil Town will head to Brackley Town this coming Saturday and our match official for the day is Mr George Laflin.
Mr Laflin has reffed just the four National League games this season, being used primarily in the Premier League 2 divisions for the youngsters of the top sides.
That doesn’t mean he hasn’t been enjoying himself, 21 times he’s dished yellow cards out, never any fewer than four and averaging out at over 5 per game (just).
In total, 57 yellows in 13 games across all competitions feels like a lot, and it is, but, not once has he used his red card.
As far as I can tell, he’s refereed one Brackley game in his career, a 0-0 draw against Southport a couple of years ago, and one Yeovil Town game, at Huish Park in a vital 1-0 home win over Havant and Waterlooville in the National League South.
He booked four Glovers that day too, but none of Frank Nouble, Jordan Young, Joe Day or Jay Foulston are with us any more to worry about bumping into him again.
He’ll be assisted by Andrew Aylott and Matthew Joyce, with Jack Bloxham in charge of the dugouts.
