Barry has refereed wheelchair basketball since 1992 and was elevated to the national league in 1994! Since then he has only continued on the path to be the best. In 2000 he was recognised and accredited an international licence and refereed the Athens Paralympics in 2004.

Although Barry is refereeing such an elite level he continues to give back to kilsyth. Every Thursday you will find him on crt 2 at Kilsyth helping out on the domestic wheelchair basketball games and teaching anyone who wants to learn the craft of refereeing this exciting game.
Good Luck Barry with the game, you are a credit to yourself and Kilsyth and a great role model for the up and coming referees.
