Gavin Ward will take charge of the Swans for the third time this season. He was the man in the middle for the 0-0 draw at home to Birmingham back in September, a game that saw him issue just one yellow card.<\/p>\n

However, it was a match remembered for a half-time incident involving Swans coach Alan Tate who was later charged and punished by the FA for the incident that went unpunished on the day by Ward.<\/p>\n

\"Alan<\/p>\n

He was also referee for our 2-0 defeat to the newly named “Wayne Rooney’s Derby” back in December – a game again with just one yellow card. His total Championship record this season is 21 appearances, 64 yellow cards and 3 red cards.<\/p>\n

Ward has been an EFL official for 13 years and was appointed to the Select 2 Group officials ahead of the 2018\/19 season after over ten years as an EFL referee in League One and League Two.<\/p>\n

During that time, he took charge of the 2017\/18 EFL Trophy Final between Shrewsbury Town and Lincoln City, as well as being the Fourth Official for the FA Vase Final in 2011.<\/p>\n

Ward also attracted earlier this season this brilliant quote from Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray – “I thought he started the game poorly and he finished the game poorly. And was poorly in between.”<\/p>\n

Ward will be assisted by Adam Crysell and Matthew Jones while Trevor Kettle is the fourth official.<\/p>\n
