Lancashire FA is delighted to announce the return of our Referees Awards Evening this May.

It has been a magnificent year for our referees on both the local and national circuits.

Following in the footsteps of the hugely successful inaugural event last year, we aim to highlights the fantastic achievements from our match officials.

The event will be heavily attended and we anticipate that tickets will sell quickly.

We are also thrilled to confirm that we have arranged for a star-studded panel of four Premier League match officials as our Guests of Honour.

Anthony Taylor, Martin Atkinson, Neil Swarbrick and Jonathan Moss will all be in attendance to present the awards and take part in an interactive Q&A session.

There will also be distinguished attendees from the Football Association and Professional Game Match Officials.

Throughout the evening, we will recognise and honour 10 of our match officials who have demonstrated and achieved excellence over the past year.

Each award, as well as the evening itself, is available for sponsorship.

The Referees Awards Evening will provide a great platform for our officials to relax, socialise and reflect over a successful year, so be sure to get involved and buy your ticket before it sells out!

Deadline to buy tickets is Friday 5th May.
