Any questions, please contact MCUA Secretary Wayne Vernon

It is with great pleasure that we announce that MCUA member Craig Parkinson has been appointed to stand at Lord’s in the first ever National Schools Under 18 Finals Day on June 28th.

 

Craig, who has been umpiring since 2015, will be officiating in the National Boys Under 18 T20 in the afternoon. This is the first time the final of this tournament has been staged on the main ground at Lord’s and Craig, who is very much looking forward to the day, will no doubt share his experiences with MCUA members.

 

The Boys T20 also has another MCUA connection as former MCUA umpire Rob Morris is the tournament director. This is Rob’s 3rd year as director and Rob is also the schools section editor of the Wisden Cricketer’s Almanac.

 

We trust Craig, and Rob, will have a fantastic day at the home of cricket and we wish them all the best.

 

There will be a live video stream of the day with commentary that Rob will share with MCUA members nearer the time.

Tonight the MCUA conducted its Annual General Meeting.

​

Ian is also leaving the MCUA to take up an umpire position in the Lancashire League and we wish him all the best for the future

​
