Refereeing is about being the best that you can be at all times whilst gracing the field. The saying goes, “you never know who is watching”. Well for our member Lwazi Maxela it was just that. One moment he was refereeing a tough encounter at the Academy Week, the next moment he is appointed to the last day of Craven Week after being spotted at the Academy Week. We are extremely proud of this achievement and wish him well as he goes on to showcase his talents. #whereweleadothersfollow
