Russell to ref Darlington

Mick Russell from Hertfordshire is to referee the weekend's League Two encounter between Hereford United and Darlington. Russell has been a regular referee in the Football League, varying between all three leagues. His last game was last Wednesday, as Bristol City beat Southampton. He sent off Saints midfielder Yousseff Safri late on in the game.

To date this season during 13 games he has given out 32 yellow and 3 red cards.

The last time, and only time, Russell has reffed a Bulls encounter was at Swindon last season when a Andy Williams double sealed a fine away win for United.
