It has been a season defined by notable milestones, and we are pleased to acknowledge another. Congratulations to Colm McCaughan, who last weekend recorded his 100th Assistant Referee appointment in the Shute Shield, officiating at Woollahra Oval for the semi‑final between Easts and Eastwood.

As an association, we place considerable value on the contribution of our Assistant Referees. To demonstrate the skill, consistency, commitment, and work ethic required to earn 100 Shute Shield AR appointments is an exceptional achievement.

When combined with his 33 Shute Shield referee appointments, Colm’s service spans 133 first grade fixtures - a testament to sustained professionalism, preparation, and commitment. As he steps away from our Shute Shield Panel at the end of the year, we extend our sincere thanks for his outstanding service to our association and to the Shute Shield competition.

Congrats Colm!

Congratulations to another member achieving a milestone this year! Chris Bereton reaching his 200th game a few weeks ago!

Chris is a true workhorse of Sydney suburban rugby, and bought up his double century at David Phillips Field, on Blunt Cup, with UNSW v St Pats.

Well done Chris!

Last weeks rep appointments. The work never ends for Ella and Rach!
