       On Barren Ground

       A recent thread on cup final appointments bemoans the fact that
       Kent haven't had a Cup Final Referee for some time..
       Acknowledging that my Upton's research only ever covered two
       counties, and for the Men's final alone, I wonder if there are
       more barren runs than these?
       Derbyshire
       Arthur Kingscott  1900 1901
       John Ibbotsen 1910
       Harry Kingscott 1931.......
       Nottinghamshire
       Arthur Adams 1913
       Noel Watson 1925
       Reg Leafe 1955......
       So if Mr Coote gets into the middle this year (former Newark)
       that'll be quite something!

       Hasn’t Steve Bennett not had an FA cup final?

       Yes the Orpington man  refereed the 2017 fa cup final and was an
       assistant(linesman) in 1995
       When mr Ashby from worcestershire refereed the final.

       I didn’t realise Coote resides in Kent now.
       Bad news for Fulham, we will be seeing him regularly then next
       season.
       When Bennett was on the list he frequented CC at very regular
       intervals.

       Has my original home county of Suffolk ever produced a FA Cup
       Final Referee? I can't think of one. Russell Driver got a
       Reserve appointment in the early 1970s I seem to recall but I
       can't think of a referee.  Norfolk of course have had two,
       Norman Burtenshaw and Alf Grey.
