Umpire Announcement

We were lucky enough to welcome Gary Holden and Jo Sharrock from @europenetball in Dublin last weekend (25 November 2023) for some umpiring assessments! Big congrats to our new C umpires Riona O’Hanlon, Sharon Ward, Aoife O’Neill and Babs Graham, all your hard work and dedication throughout the last few seasons to get to this point! We also want to recognise everyone else that has been working hard toward theirs on award, as well as thank the mentors and organisers that continue to improve the standard of netball in Ireland.
Netball Ireland has been working hard to increase our pool of C award umpire as part of our ongoing goal as an organisation.
