On Barren Ground
DIR By: mutn3

---------------------------------------------------------
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.
