Brandon Roberts – 100 Premier Games 💯

This weekend, Brandon Roberts will referee his 100th Premier Game when he takes charge of the Patumahoe v Karaka clash at Patumahoe Domain.

Brandon has been a leading referee within the CMRRA for a number of years after beginning his refereeing journey as a 16 year old student at Waiuku College.

Throughout his career to date, Brandon has refereed 5 McNamara Cup Finals, 4 First Class fixtures, and has earned numerous representative opportunities, including being selected as a National Squad Representative referee. His career has also included NPC Assistant Referee appointments and involvement in Super Rugby U20s fixtures.

Off the field, Brandon has also made a significant contribution to the game as a former Referee Education Officer (REO) for the union, helping develop and support referees throughout the region.

Brandon is a well-loved and prominent member of the association, and has made a massive impact on both CMRRA and CMRFU through his leadership, commitment, and passion for refereeing.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate this milestone with him and invite all members to join us post-match on Saturday as Brandon receives his Centurion Blazer in recognition of his outstanding achievement!
