We are proud of our Annie Dickeson, Rugby Australia’s Match Official for the month of May.

Annie has been ACTRRA’s heart and soul since her arrival to Canberra several years ago.
Her massive effort in recruiting new referees (via the impressive number of Referee Ready courses that she has convened), nurturing these new referees & being a tireless MOD for both young and old are only a small part of her amazing contribution to rugby and rugby refereeing.
Annie, thank you for all you do, and congratulations!

Introducing our Harvey Norman Match Official of the month for MAY 2026.

ANNIE DICKESON

Annie has poured her heart into running courses and welcoming people into rugby. Whether travelling interstate to be there in person or jumping online to review match videos and provide feedback from home, she does whatever it takes to support her referees.

Thank you Annie for your commitment and dedication to our game.

Thanks to the team at Harvey Norman, each month a Match Official from across the country will be recognised for their outstanding effort and commitment to our game. Each monthly winner will receive a $150 Harvey Norman Voucher and recognition in the Community monthly newsletter and on Play Rugby socials.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of latest First Nations Jersey.
