UMPIRES: Grant Godfrey and Anton Lewis were appointed to officiate at the Carnival.

Conduct of the team, was of the usual high standard which we have come to expect. From a NSW team point-of-view, organisation of the Carnival was excellent. Due to weather conditions, only one change of venue was required when the Division One finals were transferred to the North Albury FC venue at Bunton Park.
