Will the Harrogate Town v Port Vale EFL League 2 match from April 5th 2021 go down as a watershed moment for Female Referees?
In this episode Straight Shootin' LJA discusses Rebecca Welch breaking down a barrier for Women in Mens football by becoming the first ever appointed Female referee in EFL history, when she officiated the Harrogate Town v Port Vale EFL League 2 match from April 5th 2021.
SSLJA looks at the potential impact this could have on women not just wanting to get into refereeing, but other areas such as running the line, like Sian Massey-Ellis and looks at why it's taken 10 years after Ellis started, for Welch to get an opportunity to fully officiate a match in the mens game.
