– high percentage of passes recorded at Fitness Run

As the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and the Guyana Football Referees Council (GFRC) prepares to make submissions to FIFA for the 2014 International List, the experts on the Laws of the Game have been putting in the hard work in order to be successful.
At last weekend’s Fitness Run held at the Police Sports Club Ground, Eve Leary, a high percentage of passes was recorded despite the humid conditions that prevailed.
The Fitness Run which was supervised by Member Association (MA) Fitness Instructors, Anson Ambrose and Trevor Beckles, saw a 100% pass rate for the Male International officials. It was Beckles’ first outing as a Fitness Instructor following a CONCACAF MA Instructors Course held in Jamaica, last month.
The successful Referees were Sherwin Johnson and Sherwin Moore along with Assistant Referees Dion Inniss, Venton Mars, Trevor Porter and Rollin Tappin. Guyana’s lone Women’s International Referee Nicola Joseph was also successful.
There was only one failure among the National Male Referees Pool, while in the Assistant Referees category there were three failures out of nine starters. The successful Referees were Gladwin Johnson, Colin Bowry, Micah Erskine, Delroy Henry, Dwayne Johnson, Christopher Joseph and Roland Persaud.
The Assistant Referees who completed the course were Vere Watts, Kleon Lindey, Patrick December, Lenval Peart, Keith Roberts, Marwin Layne and Kevin Stephens. Maurees Skeete and Monica Welcome, the only two Women’s National Referees to participate were both successful.
Skeete, who recently officiated at the CONCACAF Under-15 championships in the Cayman Islands, was recommended by CONCACAF Referees Instructors to be shortlisted for the 2014 FIFA list following her outstanding showing.
Meanwhile, the FIFA Referees Assistant Programme (RAP) will take place from October 1-5 in Guyana with FIFA Instructor, Jamaican; Peter Prendergast scheduled to facilitate the programme with assistance from local Referee/Instructors.
At least 25 Referees from around Guyana will benefit from the training.
