PATRON’S REPORT Mrs. Lynne Anderson
It is with much pride as a Patron of the Association that I am able to again offer my congratulations to all involved for coming through an extremely difficult 2020 season, where COVID-19 impacted the lives of everyone, with sport bearing a major brunt of the disruption. Having seen the dedication and hard work that goes into becoming a referee at any level, I am always extremely proud of the continued excellence within the Association and the high benchmark that is set. The ability to provide top line officials is crucial at any level and something that I am very familiar with in my role as CEO of Paralympics Australia. To be able to provide that pathway for young, aspiring officials is crucial to the future of any sport, as is the ability to create role models and mentors for those coming through the system. The Canterbury-Bankstown District Rugby League Referees' Association has long shown itself to be a leader in this area and an organisation that takes great pride in its history and standards. I have no doubt that those coming through the system are in good hands and I would like to wish everyone all the best for the 2021 season in the hope that normality will return soon to allow our young men and women the chance to again shine on the sporting field.
