Congratulations
Congratulations Anthony Mansour! Well deserved.
Also a talented beach soccer player 👍🏼
At Football Canterbury's awards evening on Saturday, 28 September 2024, our Secretary and life member, Anthony Johnstone, received the Vince and Val Laws Medal for 2024.
The Vince and Val Laws medal recognises a person who has been dedicated to football across their lifetime and has exceeded the expectations of what would normally be expected of an individual.
The CRA Committee and members could not think of a more deserving recipient than Tony who has been a pioneer and stalwart of the CRA for the past 40 years.
Congratulations Tony, we are all proud of you!

We are immensely proud of our very own Frieda Maher for her recognition as the Football NSW Female Referee of the Year! Frieda’s devotion, passion and commitment to refereeing, particularly female referees is an inspiration to our members, the Leichhardt Saints Football Club and the Football Canterbury community. Congratulations Frieda from all of us 🙌 🙌👏👏As part of our Female Football Week celebrations, Football NSW is celebrating the contributions of dedicated individuals within our community!
🥳CONGRATUALIONS!
Female Referee of the Year: Frieda Maher (Canterbury Referees Association)
“Frieda Maher continually goes above and beyond to give back to football in all areas, and most recently, in the referee space. Frieda has been involved as a player and a coach and in 2019 began refereeing with her local branch, Canterbury Referees Association.
“Alongside her treasurer commitments to her club (a role she first took up in 2015), Leichhardt Saints Football Club, Frieda worked on the club’s Junior Referees Program and Game Leader Program, which saw her recognized by Football Canterbury in 2023 with the Cec Barlow Award. In 2021, Frieda Maher was awarded life membership of Leichhardt Saints Football Club.
“In 2023, Frieda was awarded a Legacy Referee Coach Scholarship and obtained her assessor qualification, further sharing her experience and knowledge to support and mentor junior referees both on community matches, and with FNSW at Proctor Park Challenge 2023. Frieda’s genuine care for all stakeholders in the game shines in her words and actions both on and off the football field and her leadership has had a positive impact on referees and players alike.”

Vale Kevin Sutton.
It is with great sadness that we convey the news of Kevin Sutton's passing.
Kevin was a life member of the Canterbury Referees Association - CRA and Marrickville FC, and received the Vince & Val Laws Medal in 2016 in acknowledgement of his exceptional contribution to the local game. He also received a Football NSW State Award that same year.
Our thoughts are with Kevin's family, friends and the football community at this time.

Thankyou so much for your mentorship on and off the pitch Kevin. My heartfelt condolences to the family.
Knew him from my Marrickville Red Devils days in the late 70s...great service to our game...No doubt he will be sorely missed...condolences to the family, may he RIP 🙏
This one is sad. Such a really humble guy who mentored so many of us coming through the ranks for years. Condolences to his Family. May he Rest In Peace.
Icon of the district. He’ll be well remembered. Vale Kev. Thoughts with his family
Oh such sad news. Kevin was larger than life, and he brought that great smile with him. He will be missed. Condolences to his family.
So sorry to hear of Kevin's passing Spent many amusing afternoons when my dear husband Jim Skuthorpe was assessing him Condolences to his family Fay Skuthorpe
Such sad news. Condolences to his family and the wider football community. I was lucky enough to have referred many games with Kev. This kind, funny guy will be missed by all in the wider football community
Rip big Kev! I remember being a referee over 15 years ago and he was always encouraging the younger kids to persist with refereeing and always so proud to see us appointed to state league games. Then as a referee he was always an honest and fair referee. You will be missed!
A character that was larger than life.
Big Kev always bigger than life. You will be sadly missed 😔
One of the true legions of football, on and off the field. Kevin will be sadly missed.
Canterbury Referees Association - CRA referees had the privilege of observing the FIFA Women's World Cup referees train at Sydney Olympic Park yesterday. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to go behind the scenes to observe the FIFA referees go through their paces ahead of this week's tournament.
A big thanks to Football NSW for providing this opportunity to our referees!

So envious. They have been really generous with these opportunities!
what a wonderful opportunity, so progressive of Football NSW, only wish Football Qld would do something similiar
Eliza shows much promise both as a player and match official. Eliza is a great role model for other junior members wishing to join the ranks. Keep working at it Eliza! 👏👏
