A Chinese proverb says, “Those who drink the water must remember those who dug the well.” 

Whilst we work towards developing match officials of the future, we must also acknowledge the many significant contributions of those who founded and served Toowoomba Rugby League Referees before us. 

We are particularly grateful to our life members and their families who sacrificed and served our association for many years.
