At 8:50am wearing No.2 and in the first heat of twelve referees, I began my 12 minute Cooper's fitness test at the Wigan track, where the minimum pass distance was 2,500 metres (1.55 miles).
Considering the time it was extremely warm indeed.
At exactly 12 minutes, the whistle was blown to end the test and my distance of 2,980 metres was recorded.

Focus 3 - 0 Shaftesbury
Focus 3 - 0 Shaftesbury (3:00pm)
West Cheshire Football League Divison 3 affiliated to the Cheshire FA
My first non-supply league game in ages. This meant that I was on my own without assistant referees!
Shaftesbury were definitely on top for the first 25 minutes, when Focus almost scored against the run of play with their very first real chance. The shot went slightly wide. This instance appeared to change the game. From this point onwards, Focus performance improved and they began to apply the pressure onto Shaftesbury. The half ended 0 - 0.
Just two minutes into the second half Focus scored. They never looked back scoring another two goals before the final whistle. Focus over the 90 minutes probably deserved the win.

Runcorn Town 2 - 1 Marine Reserves
Runcorn Town 2 - 1 Marine Reserves (6:30pm)
West Cheshire Football Supply League affiliated to the Cheshire FA
This match was played in a very sporting manner. There was only one bad tackle in the whole of the game which was a late challenge by a Runcorn Town player deep into the second half.
I spoke to this player informing him that had this been a different type of game he would have been cautioned, however, in context I simply warned him to watch his tackles.
Runcorn Town scored just after six minutes and later increased their lead 14 minutes into the second half. The football was played to feet and was a pass and move game. A great game to referee. Late on, with 9 minutes to go (well, 14 minutes with added time), Marine Reserves got a goal back. The final part of the game was frantic. However, Runcorn Town held their nerve and held out to win the match.

Upton Athletic Association 3 - 0 Blacon Youth Club
Upton A.A. 3 - 0 Blacon Youth Club (6:30pm)
West Cheshire Football Supply League affiliated to the Cheshire FA
This match was all one way traffic in the first half. An unnecessary tackle from behind by a Blacon Youth player in his own penalty area on an Upton A.A. player in the 19th minute when already one goal down did not help their cause.
The second half was more competitive, however, Upton A.A. had already done enough within the first 30 minutes.

Ellesmere Port 2 - 1 Poulton Victoria
Ellesmere Port 2 - 1 Poulton Victoria (3pm)
West Cheshire Football Supply League affiliated to the Cheshire FA
This was my first refereeing appointment of the brand new football season. I must admit, I was a little nervous pre-match as you wonder if you're still a little rusty after the break. However, once the first whistle is blown, the nerves are quickly forgotten and you just get on with the job.
Both sides failed to test the keeper during the first half and it ended 0 -0. There was however a bad tackle by a Poulton Victoria player against an Ellesmere Port player for which I correctly cautioned.
Unfortunately the injured player had suffered a ligament injury to his knee as a result. He was taken away in an ambulance just before the second half had finished. I understand that this player will be out for approximately 8 weeks. I wish him all the best in his recovery.
Poulton Victoria immediately scored in the first minute of the second half and later almost made it two, but the ball struck the crossbar then bounced down without crossing the goal-line. Ellesmere Port then cleared the ball, went down the other end and equalised. Funny old game.
Poulton Victoria then pressed, missing chance after chance. One shot rolled past the post marginally the wrong side, whilst another chance saw a Poulton Victoria player miss from yards out with the keeper beaten. These missed chances were to later cost them.
In the third and last minute of injury time, Ellesmere Port had their first real chance since their equalising goal and they put the ball away. This was less than 30 seconds from time which proved to be the winning goal. Poulton Victoria should have won this game easily, however, Ellesmere Port stole all the points at the very end.
It was nice that someone from the Ellesmere Port club came to me at the end of the match and thanked me for the manner that I dealt with their injured player.

Grappenhall Vets 4 - 1 Stepping Hill Vets
This was an end of season veterans' friendly match that I was asked to referee as a favour for Grappenhall Vets. The match fee was £20, which is not too bad. As, you can see from my HRmax and HRavg this was an easy game in terms of my fitness level.
Grappenhall scored first after 25 minutes and Stepping Hill scored in the last 5 seconds of the added minute of stoppage time in the first half.
Grappenhall stole the show in the second half, scoring in the 82nd, 84th, and 86th minutes to win 4 - 1.
The only downside was that I had to caution a Stepping Hill player for his over-the-top aggressive beahaviour towards a Grappenhall player in the 72nd minute.
The Stats
First Half: 46:00, HRavg 115, HRmax 141 and 402kcals
Second Half: 47:26, HRavg 113, HRmax 142 and 396kcals
Total: 798kcals

Chester City (U18) 1 - 0 Port Vale (U18)
I arrived at Airbus, Broughton at 8:35am for a 10:30am kick-off. My two assistants, Daniel Hitchell and Lauren Bridge arrived 15 minutes later at 8:50am. All of us were present very nice and early which better helped to plan the game as a team.
Following a minute silence in memory of Alan Ball, Chester City kicked-off.
Chester City were the better side, but the Port Vale goalkeeper was having a first class game, pulling off some point blank and far reaching saves. He definitely, for me, was the man of the match and kept the score down.
However, in the 80th minute, following a Chester City corner and one clearance, the second shot settled in the back of the Port Vale net.
Chester City continued to apply the pressure during the last ten minutes which was equally well defended by Port Vale.
Final score 1 -0 to Chester City.
Unless I pick up an unscheduled appointment, that was my last game of this season. Looking forward to the well earned rest.

Ellesmere Port 0 - 1 Newton
Another refereeing appointment so soon after my Saturday game. The original referee, due to work committments could no longer referee this game, so I was asked to step in at the last minute - well just over 24 hours to go.
So, I went Poolside at lunchtime mindful of this appointment.
A fair result may have been a draw, but in football that sometimes, like today does not happen and Newton managed to score with 7 minutes to go.
40 minutes each way was agreed due to poor weather and poor light, considering a 6:30pm kick-off without the option of floodlights.
The Stats
First Half: 42:51, HRavg 149 and 509kcals
Second Half: 42:36, HRavg 152 and 492kcals

Poulton Victoria 1 - 1 Catrol Social
This was a game with four cautions, two for tackles and two for dissent, although it could have been quite easy for me to caution many more players - it was that type of game.

Postponed
Basically, my refereeing match between Castrol Social and Blacon Youth had to be postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
It was one of five West Cheshire Division One matches that suffered the same fate.
More time with my little Jessica Mae which is always a good thing. She smiled at her Daddy for the very first time this week.
