Below is the final table of Referee appointments together with the number of red and yellow cards issued in the season. Total of 45 Red Cards is a very low number.
Longest serving referee Lee Mason was appointed to only 16 games and I wonder if this is a signal that this is his last season in the Select Group One. I also wonder why the SG2 referees that I have highlighted should have received more than one appointment. I would like to see Attwell, Scott and Bankes continue to make positive progress.
