Essex County Cup Final Match Officials Confirmed for 2024/25
Local match officials have now been confirmed for the 24 Essex County Cup Finals which are being staged during March, April and May, recognising their performance and commitment throughout the 2024/25 season so far.
At a ceremony on Wednesday 5th February at Chelmsford City FC, Essex County FA Referee Development Manager, Lukas Wood, revealed this season’s highly-anticipated appointments. Dates and venues for each of the showpiece occasions, from the Under 12s through to the Veterans age groups, have recently been announced.
“It’s a huge privilege to be able to present our best-performing officials with a County Cup Final appointment, which is a deserved reward for everything they do,” he explained. “Hopefully, they’ll be able to enjoy more as their careers develop. A cup final is a special occasion for everybody involved, including the officiating team, and they deserve these accolades.”
“As always, it was really difficult to select the officials for these finals, with such a huge number of referees to choose from. These individuals have shown a considerable level of commitment throughout the season and have displayed high performance levels to earn these appointments, which were assigned according to the type of game that they referee.”
