Referee Declan Bourne will be overseeing Bristol Rovers’ Sky Bet League Two fixture against Barnet on Monday.
Bourne is familiar with both Bristol Rovers and Barnet, having seen Rovers through four matches and Barnet through three. He last refereed Rovers in their Emirates FA Cup second round clash against Crewe Alexandra in December 2023, with the Gas winning 4-2 away from home.
Bourne has a more recent history with Barnet, refereeing their 2-1 win away at Crewe in Sky Bet League Two earlier this season.
This will be Bourne's 68th fixture in the fourth tier, with the referee taking charge of more matches in the competition than any other in his career. This season, he has officiated 11 games across six different competitions, with his most recent fixture being Milton Keynes Dons' 4-0 triumph over Harrogate Town earlier this month.
He will be joined by Harley Featherington and Harley McKittrick as Assistant Referees and Niall Felton as the Fourth Official.
