Thats the crux of the problem.

I also think that with O35's becoming more and more popular, there are less people jumping over to ref when they stop playing.

Good news is, I have had some very good young refs in charge of my U12 Girls this season, if all these kids stick with it we do have some good referees coming through. Just have to look after them and make sure they aren't turned off it.
