REFEREE David Rock will be the man in the middle when the Mariners face Solihull Moors in the FA Trophy on Saturday.

The Hertfordshire official has taken charge of games at this level for two years now, and works as PE Training and Development Officer for sports education company All For Sport away from refereeing after several years as a PE Teacher.

So far this season, he has handed out nine yellow cards in four National League games but is yet to send a player off, whilst this was 49 yellows and four reds in 29 games last campaign.

Rock will be assisted by Daniel Middleton and Robert Evans, whilst Thomas Bishop will act as Fourth Official for the game at Blundell Park.

LAST TIME OUT

He last officiated a Town game back in March, in the 2-0 success over Welling United. Ollie Palmer gave the Mariners the lead early on before a Shaun Pearson header wrapped the game up before half time.

The referee also took charge of two other Town games last season, the 1-0 defeat to Southport last September and the 1-0 victory at Eastleigh in January.
