Would have to be between my Plan on the Pitch match at Goodison in May 2023 and Liverpool Women vs Blackburn Rovers Women in a Pre-season game at Prenton Park in August 2020 due to the experience of refereeing in a big stadium, If not Vauxhall Motors vs Bury AFC in March 2023 as it was at the time a 6 pointer with a big crowd and cracking atmosphere
