For the first time since NOVEMBER, Yeovil Town have a home, league 3pm kick off on a Saturday… it just so happens to be the league leaders Rochdale who come to town.
Our match official for the game is Mr Niall Smith, a referee we’ve already seen this season, in the 3-0 home defeat to Boreham Wood.
On that day, Luke McCormick was the only Glover to see yellow, in the dying minutes.
We also saw him in the 2-1 defeat to Aldershot (away) last season and a 1-0 away win at Taunton in the National League South.
The only two times he’s ever reffed a Rochdale game, they were both draws.
Overall this season, he’s been in the middle 17 times, with plenty of experience in the Premier League 2 division for top sides’ U21s – those 17 games have produced 67 yellow cards (avg 3.9 per game) four reds and seven penalties.
Bailey Walker and James Hooper are his assistants with Lewis B. Smith in the dugouts.
