TOP REFEREE Mark Halsey will make his return to the middle of the pitch tomorrow afternoon at Hinckley United's Greene King Stadium when Leicester City reserves take on Scunthorpe United. (2pm)

The Premiership official (pictured) was cleared last week to return to refereeing after winning his battle against cancer.

In an emotional fitness test, Halsey passed the rigorous demands laid down by Professional Game Match Officials and will be back on the list for the next round of appointments.

The 48-year-old Bolton official had to retake the test after undergoing a gruelling round of chemotherapy.

Six months ago, when the cancer was discovered after his first game of the season, Halsey had surgery to remove a tumour from his throat.

Further checks revealed the cancer had not spread and he returned to training with fellow referees.

Although he will restart in the lower leagues the expectation is that he will be back in the Premier League before the end of the season.

Halsey has been inundated with goodwill messages from managers and players inluding Wayne Rooney, Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson.

The relaxing of the retirement age means that Halsey can look forward to one or two more years at the top.

Admission is £3 adults, £1 14-16 year olds and free for U16`s accompanied by an adult.

Kick off tomorrow will be at 2pm. The bar will be open from 1pm.
