officiate

A referee has spoken of his pride at becoming the first openly gay referee to officiate a PDC World Darts Championship final.

The couple had a wedding ceremony in Sardinia in September but have since married again in a service officiated by Wilson's sister.

Sources inside the league’s officiating department told The Times that there’s some hesitation about getting fully behind someone who hasn’t officiated.

After the BBC put this information to the former Archbishop of Canterbury, he wrote to give up his "permission to officiate", ending more than 65 years of ministry in the Church of England.

Rangers noted "the Scottish FA's admission of an officiating failure following the non-award of a penalty".
