Referees� Boycott Halts First Division Second Round Kickoff

Despite the fixtures being released to the Referees Association a week earlier, an inside source told Sport Monitor that they were not fixtured for the weekend. According the insider in the Referees Association, the issue that has caused the blackout is payment of the referees’ assessors.

At the beginning of the season assessors were introduced in the national league as a means of improving the standard of refereeing. The First Division South League however continued without a hiccup and it seems the problem lies in the north. The teams learnt of the issue at the last minute.
