The Summer League is very lucky to evolved from the early days of
self-officiating, during which the bulk of the burden fell on Peter Lye.
Others to have filled in are Phil Jones, George Aranyi, Paul Muollo, Paul
Griffin, Jamie Milne, Michael Wray - and there were no doubt some others
not listed.
Gary Oosterbaan
was the first proper referee to offer his services and the pool of
available officials has now grown to five.
Our referees all provide their services voluntarily and it
is a real sign of credibility for our competition to be
so well served.

Forgetting my red and yellow cards at an international

bacon right on kick off time!) |

There are lots! Passing the dreaded fitness test,
achieving my NZ Badge, having a bloke in a Capital 3 match I refereed in
August tell me I was as good as some of the male referees. |

Embarrassing Moment |
Actually there are lots of these too
L Calling an
offside when the attacker was in his own half of the pitch (duh), leaving my
flags in the changing room when I had ARs on a women’s match (double duh),
and others that I would be too embarrassed to mention! |

Murray commented that he was going to add in ‘my
highest match officiated on was the FA Cup in 2006!’ (But we all know that
isn’t quite the truth.....) |

Running my first line at Shark Park for a Chatham Cup

in NZ footballs most prestigious football competition is a great honour I
think. |
