Referee Louis Jack received the award for Referee of the Year as the Tobago Zone of the Trinidad and Tobago Referees' Association held its Annual Dinner and Awards Function at the Works Conference Room, Shaw Park last Saturday.
Certificates were also presented to referees Tricia Des Vignes, Keon Yorke, Lynk Davis, FIFA assistant referee Mentor Baptiste and Zone Instructor and former FIFA referee Noel Bynoe for their participation in a CONCACAF/FIFA Refereeing Course which was run in Trinidad last year.
Feature speaker, Rickson Powder, urged the young referees to reach for the stars and aim to become FIFA accredited officials. What he recommended was that the organization find a way to enlighten young footballers about the laws of the game which would make them better players. He was also in high praise for the officials who serviced the Primary Schools Football League (2009), both local and national. He commended them for a very professional job.
