The final game of the season is upon us, mid-table Latics face mid-table Bristol Rovers in what will hopefully be an open and free flowing game of football, the referee schedule to take charge of the fixture is Sunderland based official, Marc Edwards.
The 34 year old is in his 5th season as a National List official.
In his career in the EFL, Marc Edwards has taken charge of 142 games, issued 541 yellow and 10 red cards, pointing to the penalty spot on 32 occasions.
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 enjoy awarding a penalty though.
Previous Games
Edwards has ref’d the Latics 5 times previously, twice this season, both away from home, Carlisle in August and our infamous trip to Vale Park in December, five Latics players picking up yellow cards in that game Sam Tickle, Scott Smith, Jordan Jones, Cal McManaman and Chris Sze.
Edwards’ last refereed Bristol Rovers in the 2021/22 season, a League Two fixture against Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park which ended 1:1.
