Referees are promoted after season of success

Officials at the Sussex FA have announced a raft of referee promotions.

Following a meeting of the FA referee promotions working group, the county organisation said it was delighted to announce a number of match officials’ promotions now confirmed.

They are as follows: Promoted from level five to four: Darren Eaton Perry Hart Daniel Jeffery Thomas Price Oliver Westgate

Promoted from level four to three: Anthony Andrews Jake Woodman Timothy Godfray (Hants FA – operated on the Southern Combination Football League)

Promoted from level 2B to 2A Jacob Miles

Match officials promoted from levels seven to six and from six to five will be considered once the Sussex FA refereeing team return to work, and will be announced in due course.

Sussex County FA development manager Paul Saunders, covering for referee development manager Paul Jeffery, said: “These promotions highlight two things for me – the ability to be promoted after just one season at a previous level and also the ability to bounce back following a period at a lower level.

“Congratulations to each of you on your promotions and keep up the good work!”
