Association of Umpires & Scorers faces collapse

A dissident group of umpires were yesterday pondering the collapse of the Association of Umpires & Scorers special meeting at the Derbyshire County Ground on Saturday.

Hopley, a former association general secretary, said: "We're taking a couple of days to consider our options. Members were frustrated by a lack of proper organisation, which typifies the general council."

The 15 accused officers were also disappointed. Dave Brandon, facing a five-year suspension from office for witnessing a lease signature, said: "We would have preferred to have cleared the air."
