Promising young 19-year-old NSW State League Football Referees Inc, Scott Edeling, on Wednesday evening picked up the NSW Sports Federation Officials Recognition Scheme for Outstanding Young Official Award for 2009.

Held at the Waterview Convention Centre, Bicentennial Park, Edeling was amongst a couple of other finalists at the Officials awards presentation and NSW Sports Federation Members Christmas function.

Congratulations  to one of our members, Matthew Gillett, who is about to make his Hyundai A-League debut in the centre.

Keep an eye out for him on Sunday 8th November, 2009 on the Wellington Phoenix  vs  Perth Glory game at Westpac Stadium, Wellington, kicking off at 5.00 pm. 

We wish him luck in his first game and I am sure he will do us proud.
