After decades as a National B, Dave Dunsford decided to finally get round to taking his exams for progression to National A refere to help the area move forward .

This is no small achievement, giving up a huge amount of time to attend events but also in studying rules.

Dave will be familiar to many in the area since he moved up from London, he likes to think himself an honorary Yorkshireman even if his accent gives him away!

Huge congratulations on your promotion Dave.
