The field umpires at the Asian Champs umpired approximately 13 games each and ran 26kms!
Playing between four preliminary games at the Asian Champs – plus semis and the Grand Final if you’re good enough – is a big ask.
But spare a thought for the field umpires.
Adam McDonald, for example, umpired 13 games straight! And, according to the GPS, he covered a total of 26 kilometres. The other umpires would have had very similar stats.
Thank you very much to all the umpires, including boundary and goal umpires, on a stunning job, all day, in the heat.
Field umpires:
