Dale’s Vanarama National League game at Maidenhead United on Saturday will be refereed by MICHAEL CRUSHAM.

The Assistant Headteacher at Brownedge St Mary’s Catholic High School in Preston is in his second season refereeing in the National League, but Saturday is only his seventh appointment of the campaign at that level, the most recent being AFC Fylde v Hartlepool a couple of weeks ago.

Michael is also a regular referee in Premier League 2 and has been fourth official at a small number of EFL fixtures this term.

He has also officiated in the National League Cup, with one of his games being Dale’s 2-0 home win over Stoke City U21 in January.

alicenthightower added 07:47 - Mar 24 Great to see Michael Crusham getting the whistle for Dale's match at Maidenhead! Balancing a teaching gig with National League and Premier League 2 reffing is no small feat. I hope he brings that same focus to keep the game flowing on Saturday. https://retrobowl.college
