REFEREE

Gavin Ward (Surrey) Ward has taken charge of four games so far this season showing 13 yellow cards but no reds.

He last officiated the Shrimpers in December 2014 when he sent off centre-back Cian Bolger for violent conduct during a 0-0 draw with Dagenham & Redbridge at Roots Hall.

Ward also took charge of Blues’ defeat to Walsall in the League Cup back in August 2014.
