2017 Recipient
Ethan Klein has been named the 2017 recipient of the Junior Referee of the Year. It was a great year for Ethan, whose performances on the field led to his success at the NSW State Championships and therefore his selection to go to Melbourne for the U12’s National Championships. In the District, Ethan made his debut as a referee in the U14’s competition and as a touch judge he officiated in the A Grade 1st Division competition. With refereeing pedigree running through his veins, Ethan continues to improve year in and year out. His cool, calm demeanour allows him to be a very good decision maker in pressure situations. Congratulations on another very productive season Ethan, we look forward to your progress in 2018.
