With the end of 2000 approaching the Matabeleland Cricket Association is losing two board members who are emigrating from Zimbabwe, following the recent departure of the Chairman Mr. Kevin Dabinett to Zambia. Carolyne Prentice, who is training to become an umpire, is leaving with her family for Australia, while the chairman of the Matabeleland Umpires Association and MCA Board member Paddy Ewer is going to Pietermaritzburg in South Africa to take the post of Senior Lecturer in Mathematics. Paddy played and umpired cricket in Lilongwe, Malawi, for five years and on occasions played with Dave Everington, vice-president of the Zimbabwe Cricket Union, who was also living in Malawi. Paddy recently received a Doctorate in Mathematics from the National University of Science and Technology in Bulawayo and was instrumental in expanding the umpires association in Matabeleland.
