👏 Congratulations to all of our referees who have achieved promotion at the end of the 2025/26 season.

These promotions are recognition of the hard work, commitment and performances shown throughout the campaign, and each official should be incredibly proud of their achievement.

A special congratulations to Peter Dingle on promotion to National Group Assistant Referee, and Tom Hales on promotion to level 2, alongside all those progressing through the refereeing pathway.

Thank you to every referee across Derbyshire for your contribution this season, and we wish all of our promoted officials the very best for the challenges ahead. ⚽🟨🟥
