The Isle of Man Football Association will be running a referees course at the Bowl on Sunday, October 13.

The free session runs between 9.30am and 1pm at the national stadium.

A FA spokesperson said: ‘This is a great opportunity to get involved in football in the island. There are a range of different paid referee opportunities organised in the Isle of Man which referees can get involved with from adult men’s league to walking football to junior games.

‘We have a strong referee tutoring and mentoring network who can help support your introduction into the game too.

‘Our referee network is supported up the referee pyramid and we have recently had a range of referees travelling off island to officiate fixtures in England too.

‘Overall it’s a great way to keep fit and active, earn additional income or perhaps forge a career within the sport.’
