The Ref Stop
2nd July 2026
Cornwall FA has renewed its partnership with The Ref Stop, reaffirming a shared commitment to supporting and developing the grassroots referee workforce across the county.
Building on a successful existing collaboration, the renewed partnership will continue to ensure that newly qualified referees in Cornwall receive high-quality course resources, helping to set them up for success from the very start of their refereeing journey.
Alongside supporting new officials, the partnership enables Cornwall FA to recognise, reward and celebrate its refereeing community. Through bespoke discounts, seasonal rewards, and tailored initiatives, the partnership highlights the vital role referees play in sustaining and growing grassroots football across Cornwall.
Cornwall FA referees can also access official Cornwall FA branded referee kit and merchandise through a dedicated online store hosted by The Ref Stop. The Cornwall FA Store offers a range of county-branded products for match officials and can be viewed here:
Luke Wilkes, Referee Development Officer at Cornwall FA, said:
“We’re proud to renew our ongoing partnership with The Ref Stop — a team who share our commitment to supporting, equipping, and uplifting referees at every level. Here’s to another chapter of working together for the good of the game. We are looking forward to this on-going partnership, starting with some additional gifts for our County Cup final officials this year!”
Lyndsay Riding, Partnerships Manager at The Ref Stop, said:
“We’re delighted to renew our partnership with Cornwall FA and continue supporting the fantastic work being done to recruit, develop and retain referees across the county. By providing high-quality resources, meaningful rewards and ongoing support, we aim to positively impact referees at every stage of their journey. This renewal reflects a strong, shared commitment to grassroots refereeing and we’re excited to build on the progress already made together.”
