Apart from the two refereeing appointments above, he has previously been a touch judge on many occasions, and also has refereed Oxford Cavaliers. Likes to let the game flow. He’s an Australian, supports West Ham, and gets around the world quite a bit at different sporting events. He’s the one on the right, obviously:
Touch Judge: Curtly Etchells (Barrow)
From Ulverston. Started refereeing in 2009. Last seen in the League 1 Cup defeat at Barrow earlier this season.
Touch Judge: Lee MacDonald (Barrow)
You may have noticed something of a theme as regards the location of the officials this week. This is his third Oxford match, one as reserve referee, and the first one not played against Barrow. Here’s a very recent photo:
Reserve referee: Brad Milligan (Cumbria)
Second Oxford game, the last being the Challenge Cup trip to Whitehaven earlier this year. Former amateur player turned official.
Match Commissioner: Keith Leyland (Wigan)
The only match commissioner ever for Oxford games played overseas (in other words, he did both Toulouse and Toronto). Less impressively, was also match commissioner at the 2013 Challenge Cup final, during the 2013 World Cup, and for the 2015 Grand Final.
And a bonus - here are the officials for next Wednesday's home game at Featherstone. I'll do a proper refwatch early next week.
