The new season is nearly upon us and many of you will be involved in pre-season matches and of course, some of you have already started the season proper by officiating in the ALBA Challenge Cup and Co-operative Insurance Cup. I wish you well and trust you will get off to a good start.

To ensure that you are giving your best, please take advantage of our Association Training to ensure your fitness is up to the desired standard for each of the games you are involved in.

Training continues throughout the summer every Tuesday evening on the athletics track at Fife Institute commencing at 7.15pm and the additional training open to all members will continue on a Thursday evening at Beveridge Park, Kirkcaldy commencing at 7.30pm.

Congratulations once again to Willie Conquer and Stuart Macaulay in securing appointments in UEFA EUROPA and UEFA Champions League Qualifying matches. Willie will officiate in the Odense BK of Denmark and Zrinjski Mostar of Bosnia Herzegovnia match while Stuart is part of the Official's team in the Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine) v KAA Gent (Belgium) game. Well done to you both. There are more of the match details availlable on our Appointments page.

Our first meeting after the summer break will take place on Thursday 12 August at Fife House in Glenrothes and I look forward to meeting up with you on the night.

If there is anything I can do for you in the meantime, please get in touch with me.

Best wishes

George
