Refereeing - the best seat in the house

Welcome to the Home Page of the Townsville District Rugby Union Referees Association (TDRURA).

The TDRURA is responsible for the provision of referees for rugby union matches in Townsville and surrounding Districts, including Charters Towers, Burdekin and Ingham.

As participation in Rugby across the Townsville district continues to grow, so too does the need for qualified referees, assistant referees and referee coaches.

Each week, each season, referees and match officials play a vital role in Rugby and without them, games simply wouldn't go ahead.

In addition to offering a unique way to get involved in the game you love, refereeing is a great way to keep fit, develop new skills, make new friends and experience the teamwork and camarderie of the large, international team of Rugby referees. 

You are never to young or old to get involved so, whether you're a player, ex-player, coach, school student, parent or a Rugby fan, there's a level of refereeing for you.  So why not register your interest in refereeing for the 2010 season by emailing us at rugby_refs_townsville@yahoo.com.au
