QUEENSLAND BASEBALL UMPIRES ASSOCIATION

With the Little League Girls and Invitational kicking off today in Redcliffe, we have a mother-son and father-daughter duo in attendance in Cassandra Hall/Tyler Lowe and Michael Florence/Ciara Florence.

Along with Irma Cortez, Zoe Leeming and Tiffany Robertson, they make up a strong local contingent being overseen by Queensland’s Barry Foat & Marc Roberts.

Good luck next week to Carla, Alisha, Cass & Liliana at AWC and AYWC.

AUSTRALIAN WOMEN & YOUTH WOMEN’S

We are very excited to announce the 12 umpires attending this year’s AWC & AYWC for the second straight year will be an all female panel.

Reaffirming Australia’s position as one of the world leaders for producing elite female officials, umpire director Brett Robson is optimistic about the continued growth.

“We are constantly providing development opportunities for all umpires. This pathway starting at local women’s competitions all the way to WBSC events demonstrates there is a national commitment to these opportunities. We welcome and encourage all women to get into umpiring.”

The panel includes:

• Mina Campbell (SA)
• Leanne Gearside (NSW)
• Cassandra Hall (QLD)
• Alisha Jewry (QLD)
• Lilian King (ACT)
• Liliana Ostara (QLD)
