Founded in 1898: supporting, nurturing & developing referees ever since. Making good referees great! Proud supporter of @TyHafan children's charity.
- Really saddened to hear a 15 year old referee was verbally abused by an u14’s manager, players and parent after the game. The ref is in his 1st season and a cracking lad - some people should hang their head in shame. The ref is being supported- Ref Abuse is never acceptable!
- Congratulations/ Llongyfarchiadau to Alex McInch on his promotion to the National List as a Tier 1 Referee @CymruLeagues . Alex has been a society member since he first qualified in 2014 - now the hardwork begins!
