European Referee Panel Announces Lucas Von Hoff Award

29 Jun 2012 @ 16:00 BST

As a lasting legacy to the contribution Lucas Von Hoff made to the sport of Touch, the European Referee Panel has announced an award to commemorate his memory and recognise outstanding contribution to referee development in Europe.

Players and referees in Scotland were shocked last year at Lucas' sudden passing just before the 2011 World Cup.

STA President, Peter Faassen de Heer said: "I'm so pleased that this is an award about referee development since it's something that Lucas was passionate about throughout his involvement in the sport in Scotland and across Europe.  It's thanks in part to his work that so many referees reached their dream of officiating at the Touch World cup last year."

Anyone involved with the sport of Touch may make a nomination.
