All games will be staffed for start of new campaign this weekend
Eight more referees have been recruited ahead of the start of the new Manx football season and all fixtures will be staffed on the opening weekend.
That's according to the Isle of Man's Referee Development Officer who says they now have 36 referees registered in total going into the 2023/24 campaign.
The senior men's leagues will hold their first fixtures for the new season this Saturday (2 September) with 21 fixtures scheduled that day.
Meanwhile, Paul Hodskinson says they 'absolutely' remain committed to boosting referee numbers more for the foreseeable future:
Boxing: Jamie Devine's title fight called off
Athletics: Top-five for Cain at Swansea Half Marathon
Jamie Cringle 'a couple of steps closer in the right direction' after TT crash
Football: Castletown and 'Youthie' into Paul Henry Gold Cup final
