Top female referee Aimee Barrett-Theron on Monday continued to break new ground by becoming the first female referee on SA Rugby’s national panel to take charge of a men’s match in a domestic competition.

She officiated the FNB Varsity Shield presented by Steinhoff International match between the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) and the University of Fort Hare (UFH) in Wellington.

Barrett-Theron broke onto the international scene last season by being named on the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series panel, and her career flourished soon after as she officiated at the Rio Olympic Games and then took charge of her first test between Japan and Fiji in Japan in December.

Her career received a further boost in February, as she was tasked with the responsibility of officiating the opening match in the Women’s Six Nations between Scotland and Ireland.

The dynamo had a chat with The Saturday Sport Show host, Adrian Botha.
