Marilyn Learmont The Lady Referee

Marilyn has the great honour of being the first West Australian female referee to crash into the male-dominated game in the late 1970’s. She progressed quickly from officiating schools’ football to State League, and in 1992 became the first woman to run the line in a national men’s soccer league game. Marilyn also had the line for the 1992 Australia-Brazil youth international friendly.
