Meet The Ref - Latics v Wolves U23s

Latics are back in action at the DW Stadium on Tuesday in the EFL Papa Johns Trophy, Wolves Under 23s the opposition and in charge of the game will be Sunderland based official, Marc Edwards.

 

Marc Edwards

The 32 year old is in his third season as a National List official and has ref’d the Latics twice previously, both last campaign, our 4:3 home win over Accrington Stanley back in December and the 0:1 away win at Sixfields against Northampton Town on the 9th February.

 

Having served his apprenticeship in the National League, his first two seasons in the ‘Big Time’ saw him issue just two red cards in 58 games, one in each season, only one of those was a straight red. He does like awarding a penalty though, nine last season and one already this.

 

Edwards’ last game was the EFL Cup 2nd round clash between Stoke City & Doncaster last Tuesday, Stoke winning 2:0 with three yellow cards handed out. 

 

Currently, Marc is working for a Sunderland based Housing Association group as Head of Asset Management and Investment.
