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.
