No longer part of the game here in Wales or maybe you just want to try something new? Becoming a referee has the benefit of keeping healthy while being in and around the game you love.
We need more referees. If you think you can do this then register at . You will get an on-line course that you can study at your own pace and then attend a practical session. The next one in this Area is on Sun 7 Nov at the USW Sports Park in Treforest
THATS A WRAP! So many people to thank for another amazing Finals weekend. We are so grateful so many people attended the weekend and helped to support grassroots football, congratulations to all teams involved and their supporters.
Pleasing to finish on a high. We lost to a Turkish team who finished third in the last competition (when we failed in the quals round) lost to the hosts when we only had 3 fit players on the bench (including a GK) but got some pride back today.
We've just finished a referees course with eleven new referees registering with the

Big shout out to
@CardiffAcciesFC
for the game today. We didn’t have a ref allocated so our manager had to ref. Game played in the right way - expected frustrations - but never overstepped the mark!
If we all do this we will have more refs!
