Yes

Agreed, I thought the ref was the best I've seen this season.

Why was there no match sponsor?

Surely a fair bit of lost revenue there?

After yesterday's result, we'll hopefully have local companies fighting with each other to be match sponsor in future!

The ref todays last game at Nene Park was when we beat Forest Green 4-2.

We've scored 12 goals in the two games he's been in charge of!

All refs could learn a lesson from this guy! :P

He came into Strikers after the game too, seemed like a nice guy and not one of those refs that are full of their own self importance.

That's not quite correct - the ref yesterday was James Adcock - who was a late change from Andy Madley, who was originally due to ref the game. The Forest Green game was refereed by Andy's brother Robert Madley.
