After Norwegian Referee Vincent Bouchet did the Swedish final, it is now the turn of a Swedish referee, Robert Marshall, to come over to Oslo for the NM15s final on saturday.

Marshall is from Luton, England originally and has been living in Sweden for the past 9 years. He currently lives in Stockholm and is an active member of the Swedish referee society. He will be refereeing the Swedish Women's national final in Göteborg on the 15th October and refereed the Svenska Cup final at the end of September. 

Marshall is 31 years old. He started refereeing 7 years ago in Sweden. He completed his iRB Level 2 and he is one of Sweden's senior referee coaches. Marshall is refereeing at the top Swedish level since some years now.

"It is very good that we have been able to set up these exchanges", said Bouchet, head of the Norwegian Referee Comittee, "as Norwegian Referees know Norwegian players to much, there are always a priori between players and referees. And it is funny to see that they have the same issue in Sweden. To have a referee not so well known by the clubs for our finals is a very good thing. Rob is a good referee, and I am sure he will be doing a great job for the NM15s final."

Marshall will be assisted by Vincent Bouchet and Pierre Bonnet, Yves Le Naour being 4th official.
