I'm sure many of us remember Rebecca from the Accrington boxing day away game last season when she gave a particular poor performance to say the least , absolutely stunned when she gave Accrington that penalty late on for handball against Andersen .

Anyway she's just got promoted to the Premier League and takes charge of Fulham v Burnley tomorrow .

A meteoric rise , it seems to have taken Welsh half the time it generally takes OTHER referees to reach the highest level !!! .

The usual suspects are welcoming diversity and other warm words as part of the fanfare and it will be interesting to see how Welch performs and if her meteoric actually meets reality rather than the positive discrimination box tick .
