This week will see all leagues starting up after a successful start to the season in the BFL and the GFL game at Colac. This will also be for around 40 of our new members their first game of football as an umpire and speaking from experience, it is something you never forget. I would never have thought when I started umpiring 19 years ago that it would have given me so many opportunities to travel the country and meet some of my closest friends. It may be the start of a long and successful career for our new umpires so enjoy the experience.
