Scott Taylor, Cumberland FA Referee Development Officer, said: “This promotion process is the only way in which you can advance your refereeing level and enjoy the benefits of being at the next stage of the refereeing pyramid. I would encourage any Cumberland referee within the county to consider promotion.
"We have some excellent referees within the county, and we want to continue to drive standards of refereeing up. This new FA Referee Progression Pathway will hopefully help focus you on your refereeing journey as well as gain some helpful feedback along the way. I look forward to working with you during the 2022/23 season.”
