Well done to Darfield U12s & Norton Lees Juniors Red U12s
The League today received this positive email, praising Darfield U12s Norton Lees Juniors Red U12s
"I have just got back from refereeing my game in your U12's league. The game was Darfield JFC v Norton Lees Juniors Red.
I just wanted to say, what a pleasure the two teams and the game was to referee. It is quite refreshing, even at junior level, to see two teams who are far more interested in playing football, than arguing at every available opportunity. There was not one incident of dissent in the entire game from either the players or the respective management teams.
The game ended up quite tight, 3-2 with only four minutes to go, and still the players were intent on playing football and not on trying to get decisions to help them out (late penalty claims etc). Neither did the winning side try to purposely waste any time.
The teams are a credit to your league and to football in general.
If you could pass on my comments to the relevant people that would be much appreciated.
There are many incidents where people are informed of problems and I think it is only right that good things should also be brought to the attention of the relevant people.
Kind Regards
Ryan Hadfield
Referee"
