Premier league official to referee at Thame

PREMIER League match official Stuart Burt will be refereeing the pre-season game between Thame United and Chinnor at the ASM Stadium on July 14 (7:30pm kick off).

Burt, who has recently been in action in the European Qualifiers, the Championship Play Off final, and the FA Cup Semi-Finals, makes his visit to the ASM Stadium following a request from Thame United Assistant Manager, Stuart Blaik, whom he used to officiate in the Southern League. After the match, Stuart has kindly agreed to take part in an open forum question and answer session, to which all are welcome.

The match with Chinnor will be United’s first pre-season game as they look to build on last seasons fifth place finish in the Hellenic League Premier Division.  As ever, a competitive local derby is anticipated before, in another derby, Risborough Rangers of the South Midlands League visit the ASM Stadium on Friday 17 July (7:30pm kick off).

In the meantime, training continues every Tuesday and Thursday, starting at 7:00pm at Meadow View Park.
