Desmond praised by Westley

He must have deserved it to be praised by, all of people, Boro manager Graham Westley, but tommorow's referee for the Kidderminster/Hereford game Bob Desmond received an accolade from Westley after refereeing last weekend's Cup tie between Exeter and Stevenage.

"It was good to work with four professionals at the weekend. The way that the referee conducted himself was first class," said Westley.

"Neither side could criticise him and that says everything. So often you can feel that influences affect the man in the middle but he just gave what he saw and intelligently at that."
