The SAL attempts to provide assistant referees for all Senior Division 1 matches. Beyond this it does so where it can. However, for every match that receives two assistants, two lower league matches must go without league appointed officials. In addition, some clubs balk at the cost of a referee and assistant (each team, home/away, pays for one assistant). While we are receiving more comments about refereeing appointments than anything else, it's not practical to take referees away from games to create a better experience for a small few.

This has been considered many times but for the time being the SAL does not feel it would benefit the League to have club affiliated match officials involved. The basis for this view is the response of League allocated officials who prefer to referee without assistants than to rely on assistants with ties to the participating clubs which can be of wildly varying standards of knowledge of the Laws of the Game and ability to resist the pressures of club mates. We will continue to monitor the situation, but for now this is a no go for us.
