It was great to see so many Referees attend the NSFRA End of Season Event on Monday the 21st of October at Club Turramurra. Thank you to all the referees that made the first year of the NSFRA so successful, we look forward to seeing you back out on the fields in 2025. Thank you to FNSW Referee Development Panel (RDP) Academy Graduates and NSFRA Referees Daniel Cornofsky and Rory McFarlane who participated in a Q&A Session on the evening to provide coming Junior Referees with an insight into the pathway to refereeing at the highest level.
The NSFRA would also like to pass on its gratitude to our wonderful sponsors: Shuriken, NiMera and Physio Inq, who supported our referees in the first year of the organisation.
