Q: I was pleased to partner with Paul Chambiras in his CAS 1st XI umpiring debut in Round 1 between St Aloysius and Cranbrook at Willoughby on 7-14 October 2023. Paul is an experienced, former NSW Premier Cricket umpire, and is a welcome addition to our panel.
The match went well with Cranbrook recording a comfortable victory. It was another high standard schoolboy contest featuring centuries by Sam (Cranbrook) and Tommy (Aloys), plus a 5/for by Riley (Cranbrook).
I have umpired in the CAS 1st XI cricket competition since 2009-10 and have been the Convenor of the CAS Umpires’ Panel since 2016-17. On special occasions, we get a photo of the Captains, Umpires & Coaches, and the first photo is this sequence is from the recent Aloys v. Cranbrook match.
I would welcome enquiries from experienced umpires who may wish to join our panel, as we have room for two more umpires.

Q: I am proud to be a member of NSWCUSA, which has to be the most reputable umpiring body outside of MCC Lords. I can still recall the international umpires who presented at my initial NSWCUSA training course in 2002, including Simon Taufel and Darrell Hair. There are so many great umpires and people willing to share their experience and advice.
NSWCUSA provides expert training, resources, coaching and feedback, and I have received very good support from Darren Goodger, Claire Polosak, Troy Penman and Bede Sajowitz. As mentioned above, I am the Umpires’ Co-ordinator for the Associated Schools of NSW (CAS), and we are formally affiliated with NSWCUSA.
Arthur Watson has also been a wonderful colleague and source of umpiring guidance to me over the years, as I’ve been fortunate to partner him on the field about 12 times. Arthur holds the record for the highest number of matches umpired in NSW Premier Cricket. He is a former international umpire, having officiated in three ODI matches involving England, Australia and the West Indies in 1979-80.
