2011 was a very good year for referee Brian Dunn. In November, the New Hyde Park resident was voted by his colleagues in the New York Metro Intercollegiate Soccer Officials Association (NYMISOA) as the chapter’s Referee of the Year.
In December, Brian was named as the Eastern New York Referee of the Year in a selection by the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) and Eastern New York State Senior Soccer Association. He was chosen as the top ref among the more than 2,000 registered refs in Eastern New York. Brian, a National Referee, looks forward to the Major League Soccer pre-season camp in Fort Lauderdale this month. And should he not have any professional games on his schedule on any given weekend, Brian will be back refereeing Long Island Junior Soccer League games.
