Figure 1Referee of the year 2006/07- Mark
Verigotta
This is Mark Verigotta receiving his award at
the Lancashire & Cheshire Dinner on the 21 May 07, I was there and Mark was
so surprised when his name was shouted out, he smacked me on the back and said
something I couldn’t possibly write on here, well done mark, Mark who hails
from Audenshaw in Manchester is 42 and has been a
Referee for a number of years, he joined the League in 2005, coming from the
Manchester League, there loss our gain.
On the night I went around the tables talking to some of the players and
secretary’s from various clubs, several clubs actually mentioned Mark and said
that he was a good Referee, I spoke to Carl Jackson, (Denton Town) and he said
Mark was a quality Referee, this was echoed by Coddy,
and several other officials from the club, there where also some nice words
from Hooley Bridge Celtic, South Manchester, and Whalley range Football Club.
As you can see Mark received a nice engraved trophy on the night, this
could be you, the clubs pick the Referee of the year; I think they made a good
choice this year.
Well done Mark

This season has been a difficult one trying to recruit and
retain referees, especially with me being new to the job, but I think we
did quite well and thank you all for accepting games and changes to games
without a fuss.
The level of refereeing in the league has been exceptional
and the coverage better than I could have wished I hope you will all
re-register with the league for season 2007/2008.
Just another reminder that John Ferns will be on board next
season as Referee Reports (Marks) Secretary, he will be
getting Referee's marks and collating them, and leasing with me I
hope you will make him as welcome as you have made me.
