Referee respect
The League has received the following email:
"We had the pleasure of Paul Furniss refereeing our U10's game v Ecclesfield Spartans on Sunday. I can honestly say it was an absolute delight it was too. His interaction with the kids and management was exemplary. Paul explained his decisions as he made them and hearing him give encouragement to the kids was fantastic. It all led to one of the best games of Junior Football I have been involved with. Paul deserves a massive praise all round.
Many Thanks
Rob Hillier (AFC Dronfield U10's)"

"just like to say a few words for the referee Paul Furniss we had on Sunday!
Just like to echo the comments made by Rob Hillier at AFC Dronfield, we have had the pleasure of Paul refereeing a couple of games for us in the past, and can I say it's still as refreshing as the first time, he lets the kids enjoy the game but also encourages & teaches them throughout! First class referee, the only trouble is we can hardly ever get him because he's always booked up! That in itself tells you what he's like!! The game was a great game between 2 committed teams who have become to know each other quite well... great game, great attitude & a great experience for all!!
Well Done!
