Umpires refresher course at Hasland
by Paul Barker, 7th March 2008

With the cricket season now only a few weeks away, a refresher course will be held at the New Inn at Winsick, Hasland near Chesterfield on Monday’s 7th and 14th April. These two courses will take place at 7.30 p.m. and are open to all current umpires and would-be umpires who are just about to start officiating.

The local leagues are still desperate for officials and the situation is absolutely critical. As we have pointed out on many occasions of late this is a position which is open to both males and females and anybody who has enjoyed themselves as a player can still be involved in the middle which is the only place to be when physical ability is in decline and you can no longer go through the rigours of playing.

In addition to this any person again either male or female are most welcome to join the ranks of umpires. Don’t forget that several people who never played the game have now made it right to the top and officiated in as high a standard as test match cricket! 

The course is under the jurisdiction of Mr. Gerry Graney. For further details, please contact him by telephone on 01623 642138.
