Lol Cussons Award

Lol Cussons Award recipient Alan Dennison

Alan Dennison receiving the first Lol Cussons award from Chairman John Ledgeway and Lol’s son Dave

This was established in 2010 after the death of Lol. His family wanted to put something back into York RA and an award was instigated for the Referee of the year.

The first event was held in February 2011 at St Clements WMC when the award was made at a social evening. This was a brilliant evening with entertainment, and it is hoped to continue the event in future years.
