2015 Football Brisbane Referee Finals Appointments

Hi Everyone,

Well it's late into Wednesday night, but I figured a quick post from tonight's Senior referee meeting, where the Finals referees were announced.  29 Referee Final appointments from 179 senior referees, it was a tough job by Ted and the Coaching Panel with stronger performances from the lower "weekend warriors" this year making their job more difficult.  A great problem to have in a refereeing branch anywhere.

So here's the list, with changes only likely if referees become unavailable.  A few Kanga Alumni noted and if they were involved last year, what game is indicated.
Assistant Referees to be appointed.

How has your end of season been?  Did you get the finals appointments you deserved or were you surprised?  Did Kanga Cup participation have a effect on your final 6 weeks of the season?

I'd love to hear your stories....
