Villa FC player Kiara Jobson has been awarded Newcastle Permanent FFNC Referee of the month.

Congrats to Kiara for this well deserved award, we are all very proud of you! Below is part of the article (you can read full article here):

Kiara Jobson, 14, is in her second year of refereeing and has impressed in that short time with her positive attitude and dedication to the role.

Kiara has made an effort to attend training and coaching sessions and is always conscious of fulfilling the expectations of being a match official, both on and off the field.

Kiara also plays football in the FFNC mixed competition, where she plays in the same confident manner to what she displays as a referee.

She sets a positive example for other young females in the zone, that should provide encouragement for more young girls, in particular, to take up the whistle.
