At training this wednesday the Riddell Umpires are proud to welcome 5 AFL umpires to assist with training as part of the AFL Community Umpire Round.

We will welcome Riddell Umpires AFL mates program mentor and field umpire Troy Pannell.

The Riddell Umpires also welcomes 3 umpires who have made their debut in 2014. Tim Lougoon is a boundary umpire who made his AFL debut in Round 5 and has currently umpired 2 games. He is joined by fellow boundary umpire Josh Mather who has umpired 5 AFL Games in 2014 and made his debut in Round 2. Last but not least is goal umpire Michael Craig. Michael made his debut in Round 3 and has currently umpired 3 AFL Games.

We thank the AFL for providing our umpiring group with this oppurtunity and we hope that everyone from the Riddell Umpires attends training as it will be one not to miss.
