Gloucestershire Football Association would like to offer congratulations to all the match officials that have been successfully promoted by the Football Association [fa] to Level 4 this week.

Last season was challenging for all and it is testament to the commitment of those officials that they have managed to meet the criteria despite the restrictions and although not promoted last season have had their rewards now.

We have had more referees promoted than any other County in the Country. Many thanks goes to our mentors, observers and all those involved in this success.

Your promotions are fully deserved, and we wish them every success for the rest of this season and beyond.

Promoted to Level 4

Andrew Bower, Luke Brunt, Kieran Gill, Elliott Hadrell, Ali Hajiali, Simon Laraway, Sam Lomas, Chris McGowan, Sam Myatt, Valentin Pomfret, Lewis Pursglove, Alistair Thomas, James West, Nat Wormleighton
