Yeovil Town will have a repeat referee in charge on Saturday, we’ve already seen Mr Callum Walchester once this season… actually, we’ve almost seen him twice.
Mr Walchester was the man in the middle for the Glovers’ 1-0 win over Braintree back on August 17th.
Morgan Williams bagged the only goal of the game, with Messrs Jarvis and Nouble bagging themselves a yellow card in the game.
He was also scheduled to be in charge for our 0-0 draw with Sutton United in September, but he was replaced late on by Paul Johnson.
That Braintree fixture represented his first game in the middle for the Glovers, and the record books show that he’s only refereed our opposition on one occasion too.
A 0-0 draw with Bromley in January 2024.
Overall this season, he’s officiated in seven National League games, dishing out 36 yellows and 1 red, but it is worth noting that 11 of those (…and the red) came in the same game, a feisty encounter between Braintree and Fylde.
Callum has been an assistant referee in a Wembley final in 2017 so has already clocked up a vast amount of experience on the National League circuit.
He will be assisted by Tim Walker and James Hurst, Tommy Breen is the fourth official.
