Previous Games
Tom Reeves has refereed the Latics four times previously, two of those games were against Crewe, a 2:0 defeat in the Pizza Trophy at Gresty Rd in October 2021, and a 2:0 win over the Railway Men in a League 1 fixture that same season, that game came in February 2022.
The third came back in August 2023, when a visit to the Toughsheet Stadium in Horwich produced the customary four goals to nil victory for the Latics. Reeves’ latest Latics game was our home win over Reading in January this year.
