Refwatch - Rochdale v Stoke City U21 (National League Cup thing)

Dale’s third game in the National League Cup against Stoke City U21 on Tuesday will be refereed by MICHAEL CRUSHAM.

The Assistant Headteacher at Brownedge St Mary’s Catholic High School in Preston is in his second season refereeing in the National League, but Saturday is only his sixth appointment of the campaign at that level, the most recent being Forest Green v Aldershot just before Christmas.

Michael is also a regular referee in Premier League 2 and has been fourth official at a small number of EFL fixtures this term.
