Boxing Day’s fixture with Truro City will be officiated by Ross Martin, the proud participant of one of our favourite images (below, hat tip to Gary Brown).
It’s the first time we’ve seen Mr Martin this season, he’s been chopping and changing between EFL and National League bookings, he has refereed one Truro match though, a 1-0 over Fulham U21s in the definitely serious and totally not silly National League Cup.
15 matches across all competitions have seen 58 yellows, 3 reds and 2 penalties awarded.
As for the Glovers, we have a great record when Martin takes charge, six games, five wins and a draw (2-2 vs Eastleigh on Boxing Day last year!)
He’s actually officiated our last two games on Boxing Day, the 4-1 home win against Taunton, then that Eastleigh draw.
At this point, we should have a card for him, he comes to see us on Boxing Day more often than some relatives!
Adam Wilson and James Hooper have festive flags, whilst Steven [seven] Swan[s – a – swmming] is handing out the mince pies in the dug outs.
