BBC Essex Women's Cup Final - Referee CPD
It's more than just a match! As well the hugely-anticipated BBC Essex Women's Cup Final which will take place between Billericay Town and Hashtag United, in which we're staging a refereeing workshop at the JobServe Community Stadium, Colchester United FC.
From 18:15, we'll be joined by FIFA and Women's Super League Referee, Kirsty Dowle, to share her knowledge and experiences as well as how to progress, develop and improve your refereeing skills.
Please note, Kirsty's attendance is pending international appointments.

Kirsty began her refereeing journey in 2013 and her first game as a referee was Sandwich Town Y U10. In her career to date Kirsty has refereed Women's FA Cup Final (2022), the Women's League Cup Final (2023) and has been on the FIFA international list of referees since 2020.
