HKACUS Introductory Umpires' Course

Alan Swift will host the HKACUS Umpires' Course © HKCA

An HKACUS introductory umpiring course will be held on 12-14 December (three consecutive evenings) at the Hong Kong Cricket Club (Grace Suite), from 7.30 to 9 pm.

The trainers will be Alan Swift and Anoop Gidwani. It will be Alan's final training course before he returns to England, so make the most of the opportunity while you can! Using video, areas to be covered include LBW, No ball, Dead ball, Wide and the various ways of being dismissed. There will be a test at the end of the course, and those who pass will be issued with an HKACUS certificate. The course is free.

All teams are urged to send two representatives, one of whom will preferably be the team captain, to this very informative and practical umpiring course. All teams should in fact have two representatives in their Club who have completed an HKACUS umpiring course to meet League requirements.

Applications to join the course should be made by email to: Hugh Tyrwhitt-Drake, Hon. Sec. HKACUS at tyrwhitt@hotmail.com.
