VALE LES SPAGNOL: It is with extreme sadness and loss that we inform you of the passing of Les Spagnol on Tuesday 18th February 2020. Our sincere thoughts and condolences go to his family for their loss.
Les was a referee and assessor with our Branch up to the late 1990’s and is the father of long time member (and sponsor) Wayne Spagnol.
The funeral will be held next Monday at 1:30pm at St Benedict’s Church, 16, Neville Street, Smithfield. May he rest in peace.
Congratulations go to Kurt Ams (Referee) and Lance Greenshields (Assistant Referee) who have been added to the FIFA list for 2019.
