In addition to the referees from Toolstation NCEL Division One, a number of West Riding County FA officials have won promotion to Level 3 status.
Popular trio Steve Lynch, Gareth Myers and Jamie Rhodes will be refereeing Evo Stik League and NCEL Premier Division matches next season.
Lynch, an expert in man-management and humour and a well-liked figure on the Saturday and Sunday football circuit, will be a great addition to the Level 3 group. Non League Yorkshire is of the view that it is great to see the cookie crumble in his favour this year.
