Yeovil Town will face Boston United this Saturday with Rob Massey-Ellis appointed as the referee for the National League fixture at Huish Park.
Massey-Ellis has already taken charge of eight matches as the senior official this season, including one National League game: Sutton United’s 3-0 victory over Woking. Across those eight appointments, he has issued 31 yellow cards, three red cards and awarded two penalties.
Both penalties came in the same Premier League 2 match. Transfermarkt records also list Saturday’s appointment as the 313th match of Massey-Ellis’s refereeing career.
A mixed record in Yeovil matches
The appointment will be familiar to supporters. Massey-Ellis has refereed Yeovil games seven times previously, but the Glovers have not won any of those matches.
That record is not entirely negative: Yeovil have lost only once, drawing the other six games overseen by Massey-Ellis. His most recent Yeovil appointment came at the end of last season, when he officiated the 0-0 draw against Halifax. Harvey Greenslade was shown a yellow card in that match.
Officials for Boston United at Huish Park
Samuel Fudge and Mark Senior have been appointed as assistant referees, while Steven Swan will serve as the fourth official.
The fixture is listed as a Yeovil Town first-team home game against Boston United’s first team in the National League, with Massey-Ellis, whose full name is Robert Massey-Ellis, named as the referee.
