Statement on recent events

We are appalled by the unacceptable abuse directed at Anthony Taylor and his family as they travelled back from the UEFA Europa League Final. No one deserves such treatment.

Everyone at ADRS is exceptionally proud of Anthony’s achievements and grateful for his willingness to share his knowledge and experience for the benefit of our members and local referees. As a member of our society for over 25 years, his dedication to refereeing has been exemplary and an inspiration to many new and aspiring referees.

We fully support him and his family.

ADRS Centenary Celebration

We were delighted to be able to hold our delayed centenary celebration on 28th May 2022 at the Cresta Court Hotel in Altrincham. Two years later than planned due to Covid restrictions, we welcomed 200 guests to an evening of awards presentations, dinner and dancing.

£1,230 raised for Trafford South Foodbank

We were delighted to be able to send an amazing £1,230 to Trafford South Foodbank which was raised during December by our members, their families and friends. The fundraising effort replaced our usual Christmas Raffle and enabled the Society to give something to the community during an exceptionally difficult time for many people.

Trafford South Foodbank is part of The Trussell Trust.

County RA Quiz: Runners-up

For the first time since 2014, we returned from the Cheshire RA Quiz with a trophy! It’s the trophy for 2nd place, but it still counts.

The hastily thrown-together team of Mike Ransome, Tom O’Brien and Stephen Brown dipped into some random trivia knowledge to triumph over everyone except one of the Stockport teams, who were worthy winners … again!

Time to start revising for 2020 …
