A huge thank you to all the referees who have put their hands up to officiate at the Underwater Hockey Finals! 🙌

We’re also really lucky to have two of our International Referees, Dougal and Kathryn, back in the pool just 10 days after officiating at the CMAS Age Group World Championships in Türkiye! 🌍🤿

It’s fantastic to see their international experience being brought back to our local competition and shared with the next generation of underwater hockey players.

👏 A special thank you to Chloe for managing and coordinating the referees squad throughout the season. Your organisation and commitment have helped keep the competition running smoothly!

And of course, a massive thank you to all our referees for giving up your time and supporting secondary school underwater hockey in Wellington.
