UMPS UNDER THE PUMP

The Hume league was forced to work over-time last weekend to fill its senior umpiring appointments.

With numbers at crisis point, Jarrod Hanrahan responded to an SOS at the last-minute by taking charge of the CDHBU and Henty clash.

Let’s hope he didn’t cop too much stick over the fence as he got the league out of a real bind.

SHOOT OUT

Jindera’s Trent Castles and Henty’s Damian Cupido are in a ding-doing battle for the league’s goalkicking award.

Both have 67 goals after 13 rounds.

Cupido has played a quarter less after last weekend’s clash between CDHBU and Henty was abandoned in the final term due to ruckman Chris Willis’ whiplash injury.

HALL OF FAME

There was plenty of reminiscing at Wednesday night’s Hall of Fame function.

One of the stories going around was how Howlong legend Terry O’Halloran was dudded of the Coreen league’s Archie Dennis medal while playing for Rand in 1982.

O’Halloran came runner-up with suggestions the umpire accidently awarded his brother, Tom, votes instead of the Hall of Famer.
