If Broadfields United and London Colney continue from where they left off on Saturday, both with 4-1 wins, this should be an interesting affair:

Games at Oxhey and Levy Green are off, Stotfold and Broadfields (plastic pitch) are on, can't find info on MK Irish. Amazing foresight from Karen I reckon.

A groundhopper from another Forum was at Tithe Farm:

I had a ticket to Hampton and Richmond vs Braintree Town but the match was called off at 5:30 ish so I headed over to the Rayners Lane FC ground to watch Broadfields United vs London Colney in the Spartan South Midlands Premier League.
Ticket was £5 (great value for money) and although they had planned a programme for £1 it was delayed so unavailable last night.
The match was competitive between 2 well matched sides (2-1 win to the away side) but was completely overshadowed by what was a disgraceful and unbelievably incompetent performance by the referee Adriana Bucer. I have honestly never seen such a woeful display by any official in any match I have attended since my first in 1984.
I honestly hope both clubs make official complaints to the league and local FA as there is absolutely no reason why she should officiate a match at this, or any level, again based on last night. I don't want anyone to think that this has anything to do with her being a woman. It honestly isn't. A good referee is a good referee regardless of their sex. Bucer is just a woeful official.

She often runs the line at Jets, not seen her in the middle but do agree she's prone to making some decisions/non decisions which defy belief. But she's in good company in the Mr Magoo Spartan South Midlands League ?

Does anybody happen to know whether there is a separate 'female promotion pathway' for match Offícials as according to these London FA Minutes from last year there is:

8. Female Referees PH Joined NW – stated there were 4 women on the female’s promotion pathway (JJ Roble, Sue Henderson, Adriana Bucur, Raquel De Mingo)
