NNSW fixture people scheduled a double header this weekend for most of the youth clubs (even though there is a spare weekend next weekend).With the vast majority of referees being players in the youth system it meant a huge amount of refs were unavailable all weekend.So you had no refs and double the fixtures.I think they appointed official referees to as many fixtures as possible but where there just werent any available clubs were told they had to organise their own.Some clubs used parents,some used official NNSW refs but they were associated with the club so it cause some issues.Cant blame the referees,the referees department or the clubs for this it is squarely on NNSW fixtures.
