This award was established in 2003 by John's family to remember the contribution he made during his refereeing career. John was a quietly spoken man who was always in the background. Despite this he had the ability to get the job done with a minimal amount of fuss. He was very much a "Quiet Achiever ". This Award is presented to the member who has displayed similar efforts and contribution during the year. The winner is decided by the Senior Executive from the members who have not been nominated for the Tom Downey Award.
