Congratulations to all the teams and umpires participating this weekend in the 2008/09 finals series.
It was an interesting article in todays Herald from Neil Goffett download story here
Neil is the captain of Merewethers 2nd Grade team and two of our umpires had one of his players on report this week (Michael Varnum suspended one match).
On face value it appears Neil is taking it all personally.
So what he is saying is that Kim Norris and Michael Connolly are not good enough for the 1st Grade Final? I don't think so Neil - they are up there with the best.
One thing he should be aware of is the selection process of umpires. Marty and Royce would be selected if there was the case of umpires being unavailable and the ones that were not being experienced enough.
30 umpires down to eight means everyone is not going to be happy.
It is a very complex selection process and the NDCA officials and players as well as the management committee all have an input.
Who has made themselves available for most of the season also is thrown into the mix.
So that's it from me - for now anyway.
