Quote: Andy Gilder "As we saw last weekend, not the worst of a bad bunch by any means. Thought both George Stokes and Tim Roby did well, be interesting to see if they get a run in SL over the coming weeks.'"
Stokes was on SL debut and was given a nothing encounter to deal with and did it well enough. Roby was refereeing his eleventh regular round game - 16-09, 16-10, 16-15, 16-22, 17-03, 17-04, 17-05, 17-11, 17-12, 17-14 and 17-15.
Good to see some new faces promoted and the choice expanding, hopefully in time creating some competition for appointments beyond the six full-timers and Child - that's if he's still part-time?
