Correcting errors......DYK the #1 reason that amateur football officials quit is because of the abusive behaviour of spectators. This includes the parents of young players. Remember if we have no officials, there can be no games. Be Better!

It is with deep sorry that we lost long time former OFOA President Murray Taylor yesterday. Murray was on the scenes for decades as an official on the football fields and lacrosse venues across the country. Our deepest sympathies to his family. RIP Murray!
