(a) Competitive matches
Referees for matches in the Under 9 age group and above are organised by the GHFA and NWSWS. The cost of referees are included in players' registration fees.
Whilst an effort is made to organise official referees and assistant referees (linesmen) for all competition matches, this is not always possible because there are not usually enough referees to cover all matches. In these cases it is necessary for the coach or manager of the relevant teams to arrange for someone to referee the match. The normal practice is for the two opposing teams to appoint a referee for one half of the match. For most junior matches the referee will ask each team manager to allocate a linesman.
Managers can determine whether a referee has been allocated to their team by visiting the Gladesville Hornsby Football Association website and checking Referee uncovered games at - http://www.ghfa.com.au.
Whilst official referees and assistant referees cannot be appointed to all matches, it is worthwhile noting that GHFA enjoys one of the highest percentages of match coverage - significantly higher than many other districts. It is Thornleigh Thunder FC's policy to encourage referees as much as possible and we expect players and supporters to accept referee's decisions without criticism or abuse. Refereeing is usually a thankless task and if we want to continue to enjoy official referees at competition matches we need to ensure that we do all we can to encourage the
Non-competitive matches
Official referees are not appointed to matches in the Under 6 to Under 8 age groups. Therefore, coaches and managers of these teams need to appoint someone to referee one half of each match. Your opponents will be responsible for appointing someone to referee the other half of the match.
