Football Refereeing

Capital Football has significantly increased referee payments (as much as 50 per cent in some age groups) for the 2023 season. You can now earn up to $70 refereeing Junior League games. Parents and students are encouraged to consider refereeing, which is also a great way to develop life skills and keep fit.

Those who commit to refereeing at Radford will also have the cost of the course and registration and half the cost of the uniform and equipment reimbursed.

Check out the Capital Football website for further information and upcoming courses, including online and female-only course options starting as soon as early February. The Level 4 course is recommended.

Contact Dianne.Wilson@radford.act.edu.au once you have completed a course to be appointed to games.

Cricket

A number of Radford College cricketers were involved in tours and representative carnivals over the holiday period.

The College sent two teams (Under 13 and 15) to Orange for the Western NSW Junior Carnivals. Both teams recorded two wins and two losses against representative-level opposition.

The six Radford College First XI members who represented the ACT in the Under 17 National Championships put together some solid performances across the nine-day tournament. This was highlighted by Cricket Captain Jake Smith and player Raakin Rahman being named in the Australian Under 17 Merit Team. In addition, fellow First XI teammate Amber Smith was a standout performer for the ACT in the National Under 16 Girls Championships.

Fixtures resumed over the weekend for Stage 2 and 3 teams. With a significant number of players unavailable, it was very encouraging to see so many Radford cricketers putting their hand up to fill in for other teams so there weren’t any forfeits. Special thanks to the Brown family (Tom, Dan and Mark), Aiden Wilton, Milaan Gera, Om Kondapally, Owen Henderson, Tejas Yellu, Tom Kendall, Archie Boorer, Ayaan Khan, Josh Barnett and Charlie Moss.
