DON BURLINGHAM
Don long time supporter of the JW Hunt Cup and ex Final Referee has posted the following article on our FACEBOOK page.
I refereed the Hunt Cup final in 1958 and have the dubious experience of being the oldest Final referee I enjoyed the experience and the friends made in Wolverhampton before leaving for 1 year in Hereford and line of the Southern
League and then in April 1960 being posted to Cyprus ,As the football season in 1960 was almost at an end I only refereed a few RAF Unit games However at the beginning of Season 60/61 the Cyprus Football Association approached the Services with a request for
assistance in refereeing their 1st Division games as their Cypriot referees had gone on strike -have we any Class 1 referees who can assist ,The Cypriots needed 6 referees and 12 assistants every weekend, The Combined Services found they could call on 7 or
8 Class 1 officials and several Class 2 and 3 for Linesmen duties so the services agreed to give it a try firstly on the pre -season friendly matches and then on the league matches ,As it was I was the only service referee to have limited experience on senior
football and then only as a Linesman.So it was my first match was Apoel Nicosia v Benfica my second Omonia v Dynamo Moscow and my third Moscow Spartan .The matches were all very friendly and easy to handle so it was that I ended up between then and September
62 refereeing 16 1st Division league and cup matches and in June 62 Anorthosis Famagusta v Olympiakos Nicosia intheCup Final The Cyprus FA were kind enough to write to the English FA about my performance and I was promoted to the Referees list of the Southern
League This happened because of my experience in refereeing in the Hunt Cup The Works League,Amateur League and the help given me by Mr Norman Wixon, Mr Arthur David and the Wolverhampton Referees Association

2018/19 REPORT.
The
93rd JW HUNT CUP FINAL was held at the Molineux on Monday 13th May 2019.
SPORTING KHALSA beat HIGHGATE UNITED 4-1 in a fine game of attacking football on a beautiful evening.
The Referee for the final was Andy Ellis son of Wilf Ellis who refereed the JW Hunt Cup Final in 1983.They follow Bill Castle in 1961 and Steve Castle in 2008 as the only
other father and son pair to Referee the JW Hunt Cup Final.
FINAL REPORT by Steve Gordos ( JW Hunt Cup Vice President.)
Sporting Khalsa won the JW Hunt Cup for the second time
in four years thanks to an emphatic 4-1 win over Highgate United in the final at Molineux.
From the start Khalsa called the tune, prompted by man-of-the-match Liam Armstrong, yet the opening goal did not come until the 29th minute when the lively
Mensah Kinch cut in from the right to drill home a low shot.
Striker Jay Holdcroft blazed over a good chance soon after half-time but quickly made amends when his low shot made it
2-0 on 49 minutes.
Holdcroft paved the way for the third goal three minutes later when keeper Brad Catlow blocked his shot only for Mykel Beckley to slot home the rebound.
Highgate’s chances of a recovery were hit when they were reduced to ten, referee Andy Ellis giving a straight red to McCauley Manning for his tackle on Carlo Franco.
Yet
Highate got a lifeline seven minutes from time in this battle of Midland League premier sides when Lei Brown scored from the spot after being brought down by keeper Sam Arnold.
Trying to reduce the gap two minutes into time added on, Highgate
sent Catlow up for a corner but the keeper was left stranded as the ball was cleared and could not get back to his goal before sub Alex Perry rolled the ball into an empty net.
