Tuesday 18th August, Notts County travel to the Kassam Stadium to play Oxford United. Notts go into the game after losing our local derby against Mansfield 2-0.
The U's come into the game having enjoyed their own cup success away from home against Brentford where they won 4-0, they also battled bravely against Luton Town to get a share of the points.
Both teams will be eager to acquire the maximum points available, so that they kick start their season.
The Match Officials for the game against Oxford United will be Rob Lewis, with his two assistants Richard Hulme and Nick Hobbis. The fourth official will be Timothy Wood.
Due to the fact we are at the start of the season, it seems pointless to mention stats and so, I will include some details about the officials.
Match Officials
Referee; Rob Lewis
From – Shropshire
After looking at previous games whereby Rob Lewis has featured as a referee, it would suggest that he is a very adequate match official. In fact, last season he only issued 2 red cards and several match reports highlight his control and decisions through the game as being generally spot on.
Assistant Referee; Richard Hulme
From – Somerset
Sadly yet again, there is very little information regarding Hulme as an assistant referee.
Assistant Referee; Nick Hobbis
From – West Midlands
Nick was born in Birmingham and has spent numerous seasons officiating games as an assistant referee.
Fourth Official; Timothy Wood
From – Gloucestershire
