The Dandenong District Cricket Umpires Association is on the lookout for new members for the upcoming season, in what is set to be a bumper year of local cricket.
The DDCA – the top turf competition in the south-east – is well regarded for producing and having plenty of champion cricketers play, and is going through some changes to enhance its future.
People who have umpired or played at any level in the past, and have a basic knowledge of the rules of cricket often find it’s a great way to stay involved in the game, and also earn good remuneration in the process.
Training and ongoing support are provided, and the association are a welcoming group and have great social facilities at Shepley Oval, which is the home of the Dandenong Cricket Club in the Victorian Premier Cricket competition. Umpires can earn up to $150 for an afternoon’s work.
The DDCA competition stretches from Mordialloc in the City of Kingston to Beaconsfield in the Cardinia Shire and down to Cranbourne in the City of Casey. You will need your own transport in order to umpire. Matches are played on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
You can register your interest by email to secretaryddcua@gmail.com or phone Graham Allen on 0402881042.
