Ms Welch is certainly receiving remarkably good appointments for a first year referee on the Football League. I wonder if any of our many RTR correspondents have seen her officiate at this level and can report on her performances. Clearly they must be quite exceptionally good to receive such appointments so early on.
Her performance on Saturday was very much one of the best I’ve seen this season, she did get in a mess with her positioning in the first half and got in the way a couple of times but that said her control was superb she had no nonsense she was surprisingly spritely always on the spot but the best thing for me was the lack of fussing or attention seeking , she got on with the job and kept the match flowing nicely, deserved her appointment IMO.
