One thing many teams in the club struggle to get week in week out is umpires. On the ladies side we introduced a rota last year so that all ladies 1sts and 2nds must umpire a 3rds or 4ths game during the year. This will be repeated this season once again.

With this in mind and to help any umpires in the club that would like a few pointers, Ali Keogh will run a small clinic on Satuday September the 28th.

Ali recently received her FIH international badge so hopefully knows a thing or two to guide people in the right direction.

The clinic will be run in conjunction with the mens 1sts home game v UCD. The agenda will include:
– tools/positioning/usual tips
– clarification of rules
– observation of umpires in action.

It will commence at 12.15 and finish at roughly 3pm once the mens game is over. You will be watching a lot of the mens game as part of it.

The clinic is open to all members but only 30 places are available this time around. If interested please contact Ali directly on alisonfkeogh@gmail.com. It is suggested that all ladies 1/2s attend.
