Best Grassroots Referee

We want to recognise the great work our Grassroots officials do in Scotland to help make sure we have games that are played in the correct way. This year we are asking you to nominate that Grassroots Official that has made a difference, maybe the person that has helped young people enjoy the game, maybe the person that has given up time to help with local activity or maybe that person who just makes the game fun and enjoyable. It so important we recognise everyone in our sport that allows the games to take place.
