Referee: Scott Mikalauskas (Leigh)
First season as a referee at Championship level (sorry, got that wrong last time). Plays full back for amateur team Golborne Parkside, with his brother also in the team. Apparently a Wigan fan, so I guess he might make a weekend of it and be at Millwall on Saturday. Previous games:
03/04/2015 - Coventry 32 Oxford 10 (penalties 7-7)
12/04/2015 - Oxford 20 York 44 (penalties 9-4 against Oxford, sent Adam Brook to the sinbin, match commissioner had to walk onto the pitch to tell him to stop the clock following a brawl.)
10/05/2015 - Oxford 38 London Skolars 24 (penalties 8-4 against). Match report rates the referee at 40/100.
02/08/2015 - London Skolars 42 Oxford 12 (penalties 11-6 against).
09/08/2015 - York 36 Oxford 26 (penalties 11-4 against, sent off York player in the 5th minute).
Had a chat with him before the York game, and he's a really nice chap. Also noticed him clutching one of our fanzines at the end of the day.
Reserve: Ryan Snelson (St Helens)
As far as I know, his first Oxford game, certainly the first this season. So here's a four-year-old truncated video of him so you know what he looks like:

Touch Judge: Tom Mather (Southern)
5th time this season, last one was the game at London Skolars - see above
Touch Judge: John McMullen
4th time this season, last one was the home game against South Wales
Match Commissioner: Dave Moss
7th time this season, last one was the game at London Skolars - see above
Comes from Preston, but lives in Gosport which is why we get to see him regularly. Was in the Navy, and I suspect he may go on about submarines quite a bit. See bottom left:
Also found this photo of a game he refereed in 2010 - recognise anyone?
