As we come to the end of an incredibly busy Super Series season where we have seen no less that 29 officials supporting our domestic competitions, for some of our devoted officiating team the season is far from over as they head off for International appointments.
April’s Bernd Best Tournament in Germany will be supported by referees Bri Ward, Dave Woods and Cyril Illman with Ricky Goddard as table official.
The Canada Cup in June has included Bri Ward as a reserve referee which takes place only a few weeks after Bri returns from the Champions League 1 competition in Poland where he will be both refereeing and table officiating.
And finally, for the IWRF World Championship in August we are delighted to announce that Bri Ward has been named as referee, Sue Aldridge as table official and Dave Woods as reserve referee. Additionally, European Head of Classification Sarah Leighton has been appointed as a Technical Official and International Classifier for the Championship.
We wish our officiating team all the very best with their overseas appointments.
