The Riddell Umpires have recently completed 1km time trials and the beep test at training. A number of umpires also recently attended the Riddell Umpires Fitness Camp in the city.

The 1km time trials were led by Boundary Umpires Jesse Wilkie with an average of 3:36km's and Zach Patrick with 3:38. Others to break the 4min/km average included Paul McGarry, Matt Bonacci, Andrew O'Keefe, Jake Patton, Bronson Phillips, Kehlan Fisher, Casey Fisher, Jacob Port and our senior coach Michael O'Keefe.

The following week, the group performed the beep test. Jiaya Mitchell led the group getting to level 13.2. Not far behind him were Zach Patrick, Jesse Wilkie and Paul McGarry.

During the fitness camp, the Riddell Umpires ran 2 laps of the Tan. Zach Patrick again led the group completing the 7.6km in 34 minutes.

The efforts of these guys deserves to be acknowledged and can hopefully serve as motivation for the rest of the umpiring group. Well done guys.
