THE Tasmanian Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association is looking for new umpires and scorers for next season. If you love the game of cricket then cricket umpiring can provide you with a great challenge and you get the “best seat in the house”. It could be that summer job you’ve been looking for! You can earn $105 tax-free for full-day matches and $80 for T20 matches.
If you are interested in umpiring then you must attend a Laws School, which runs for five nights, starting on Wednesday, August 3 at 6.30pm in the Premiership Room at Bellerive Oval. Over the five weeks the 42 Laws of Cricket will be explained in some detail. With Tasmania joining the Womens National Cricket League last season and with womens cricket growing in popularity in Tasmania there is a demand for female umpires as well as males. With the growth of T20 cricket there is an even greater demand for umpires in general.
