The league is pleased to award this year’s referee of the year to......
Secretary of the Year
Richard Kemp (Bromley FC)
The award this year, goes to a secretary, who like many of his counterparts stands out above the average. I have yet to hear a cross word even when we have disagreed on some issues.

All of the committee has had nothing but praise for this person. The award this year is given to the only person in the league that has already received a knighthood.
