🤩 Last night saw 108 @EssexCountyFA match officials find out which County Cup Final they’ve been appointed to and their role for their final. A huge achievement for each of the match officials appointed in which each of them have been recognised for their performances across the season so far. A huge thank you to Select Group Two Referee, Bobby Madley, for being our guest speaker and delivering an inspirational session for all. @FA_PGMOL @FARefereeing
