Andrew Hamilton played junior cricket in Brisbane and got to play against a couple of future Queensland cricketing legends in Jimmy Maher and Martin Love.

His desire to be involved in the game at a higher level led him to become an umpire and since 2004 he's been umpiring in the NSW Premier Cricket competition.
