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.
I saw her first game of this season - Rochdale v Colchester - and thought she was very good. I also thought the players reacted differently/better with a female referee.
