University Cup Rugby League Referees Association

Jimmy also refereed in the University Cup competition before he got graded in 2007

Continuing with our new daily series: Behind the Whistle!
Each day, we’ll shine a spotlight on a referee or touch judge who has helped shape, serve and contribute to the great game of rugby league.

Today also marks Special Edition #2, where we recognise referees who may not have reached first grade but still made a meaningful impact across the NSWRL competitions.
Today we feature Jimmy Oliviera. A touch judge who officiated in more than 450 games across the NSW New South Wales Rugby League major competitions after being graded by the Canterbury-Bankstown Rugby League Referee's Association.

Who will be featured tomorrow? Stay tuned!
