Assistant referees had an unusual training session on Monday as apart from a run in the countryside between Ċirkewwa and Paradise Bay, they had a one-hour canoeing session meant to strengthen the muscles of their upper bodies.
Philip Agius is the person reponsible for specialised training for assistant referees while Ronald Zammit is the official in charge of their physical condition.
The appointment of Philip Agius as the officer specialised on assistant referees helped them improve over these last four years.
