Australian umpires shine in final day of WYNC
By Netball Australia
It is not just the Australian 21/U team that is excelling at the World Youth Netball Championships, Australia’s best and brightest umpires are also doing their country proud. Five Australian umpires are in action on the final day action at the Cook Islands with seventh v eighth and third v fourth play-offs all-Australian affairs. Clare McCabe and Michelle Phippard took control of South Africa and Northern Ireland’s tussle, Helen George held the whistle in Malawi and the Cook Islands final while Josh Bowring and Kate Wright kept England and Jamaica in line in the battle for third place. Australia’s 21/U team will play for gold later this afternoon with quarter score updates available on the Netball Australia website. Australian umpires are unable to umpire matches involving the Australian team.
