Cambridge umpires provided much needed officiating at Upper North Island Secondary Schools Netball Champs last wek. With 5 umpires taking the court, Alana Thomson, Jo Gascoigne, Michelle Lang (not pictured), Ella and Sophie Webb. All doing a great job umpiring across 5 days of competition and officiating from A to D grade. Thanks umpires for doing Cambridge proud 💪👊
Also a big thanks to Cambridge Umpire Coaches, Cathy McNally and Mel Twyford for their support to ALL umpires across the grades over the week and Kellie Watson for being a sneaky Player Selector 🕵. These two roles are not easy being courtside all day every day so I think these three (and ALL the other umpire coaches/ player selectors at UNISS) deserve a medal (or at least a mallowpuff 🏅💪👊
Also, a shout out to Cambridge High School Premier for earning 5th place in B Grade! Some tough competition, close finishes including extra time but you handled it all like pros! 💪👊
CONGRATS TO ALL!
