All three officials have had highly successful seasons:

Harrison Bayssari: Officiated every round of the SG Ball Cup as a referee, and made his debut as a referee in the Jersey Flegg Cup (Round 2 of High Performance).
Bailey Clark: Officiated consistently as a referee across Junior Reps, making his debut as a Harold Matthews Cup referee this season.
Liam O’Brien: Regularly officiated as a referee throughout the season, including refereeing the Week 1 Andrew Johns Cup Semi-Final, before moving onto SG Ball Cup touch judging in the finals series.

These appointments are a reflection of their dedication, professionalism, and outstanding performances throughout the season. They should be incredibly proud of their achievements, and Parramatta Referees shares in that pride.
