Had one of those "so near and yet so far" moments last night.
Went down to Worcester City for a meeting - and Evesham were playing Bedford Town in the Southern League Premier at the same time (they're groundsharing with Worcester at the moment).
Anyhow - I'm upstairs in the lounge talking to a few people - when we hear a commotion coming from the pitch.
Look out - to see one of the Assistant Referees flat out on the pitch clutching one of his hamstrings.
So - being a qualified official I hot foot it down to the touchline to offer my services to take over the line - as the Assistant has had treatment but cannot continue.
Unfortunately - out of a crowd of just over 100 - there's another referee there watching the game - who's at a higher level than me - so he's picked (quite rightly) to go on and finish the match.
