Who'd be a referee? Plenty of people judging by latest course

The course attracted 25 new referees keen to don the black kit and that’s the highest ever attendance for a Peterborough course.

The course was organised by Northamptonshire FA in conjunction with the Peterborough Referees Association and Vivacity.
