The UHLSPORT Hellenic League has utilised this type of interval testing of Level 5 to 7 referees for many seasons and has always believed this is a better method of testing referee fitness levels than a 12 minute run with a specific minimum distance achievement required.
Although we still have no start date with regards to matchday football starting officially, work is still continuing behind the scenes.
This morning our new 50 seater stand was delivered and installed 🙌🏻⚽️

Well done TTFC look forward to your day at Wembley.
The same goes to former UHL club Brackley Town on reaching Wembley in the FA Trophy, another great result.
Best of luck to all UHL clubs starting their season today.
I believe we are heading for a competitive season. Looking forward to it all happening. Up the ‘BORO’

Whilst this is a great gesture by the SWPL it is somewhat premature as the suggested resolution for Steps 3 to 7 requires FA council approval.
That said I am reviewing the UHL financial scenario and am already working on financial projections & requirements - WIP at present!!
@SpartanSMFL
On behalf of the UHLSPORT Hellenic League we are very saddened to learn of the passing of Mike Appleby who was a great friend of many people in the NLS especially at the lower steps.
You will be sadly missed - RIP Mike
Almost a great afternoon for UHL clubs. Wins for Thatcham Town & Windsor, and a rearguard draw for Bracknell Town after ET, replay on Tuesday evening. Well done all three clubs, all in the hat for 5th Round draw
After super results last for Ascot Utd & Easington Sports the very best of luck for all UHL clubs starting in the Emirates FA Cup today & tomorrow. Will be looking for your Tweets.

Match has been P/P in last 30 minutes due to travel difficulties from Gloucester to Hereford in the interests of player and spectator safety.

The rule breaches have been investigated. Awaiting decision by league executives to draw matter to a close.
A semi-final tie will be played in July with the winners playing Flackwell Heath in the final.
@KieranJ_1979
Unless you know the full extent of the issue you are not really able to make a judgement.
That information is known to the UHL and it is the league executive who will decide the issue in due course as a decision has not yet been made.
@RoversStatto
Someone has seen the light, well done Neil. Sin-bins were used in UHL Div TWO last season with a 30% reduction in reports of C2 - Dissent reports. Referees at that level, operating as individuals, managed to cope and saw better matches.
Let hope the same applies at Step 5 & 6
@Marlowwanderer2
The affiliation was cleared earlier this week as advised to me by B&BFA staff otherwise the 1st team would not be playing but they are good to go.

Found the presentation of the Spurs v Chelsea match critique very informative & agreed with most aspects commented on. Whilst VAR is proving helpful it is time consuming and frustrating in its operation & does not fully comply with intended protocols.
@lisa_benn
Lisa - really pleased to hear of your nomination to FIFA referee. I knew it was in your grasp from the way you handled an ‘ex Premier Pro’ at Ardley a few seasons ago.
My granddaughter Chloe needs people to complete her questionnaire for her ‘Univ’ dissertation- please see her message & complete via the link in her ‘Tweet’.
Many thanks.

A Football Development Levy of 5 to 10% would provide an excellent revenue stream for non-league football to improve the facilities that are likely to be needed in the near future.

@HartpuryUniFC
Laurence - they will play at the Univ’ complex on the main stadium ground which will be shared with rugby.
They are in process of updating the football facility to be able to stage Step 6 football. Then upgrade as requirements need.

@HellenicLeague
NO - Division TWO of the UHL is outside of the National League System administration.
The UHL will keep member clubs up to speed as any further information is received.

Unfortunately in some cases the clubs plea for help is also late. Communication is a two way situation, my competition has lost three clubs this season & the competition was not aware until the position was beyond recovery.
