Mainland Football comprises of referees from the five districts spread widely around the top half of the South Island of New Zealand:

Nelson
Marlborough
Canterbury
Mid Canterbury
West Coast

The largest referee group in MAINLAND is Canterbury, comprising approximately 70% of the membership. Nelson has about 13%, Blenheim and Mid-Canterbury 7% and the West Coast 3%. 

The game needs more referees and it would be great to eventually provide a referee for every game played in the Federation.
