NSL's over!

Its been a long NSL season and now its finally over. I kinda enjoyed myself umpiring this year, something i've not been able to do in the past. Why, i'm not really sure!


Post-final shackness

It could be the way mentors are helping us this year, working on our techniques rather than telling us what call was right or wrong. Or it could be i'm not feeling so much stress to perform but rather just going out to enjoy umpiring the game. Mistakes are still bound to be made, but it is crucial to not let it and also the players, coaches or the crowd affect you. If they do, the next mistake could come sooner than later, and snowballing into a catastrophy. This, i speak from personal experience!


The men do get it!

Anyways, i felt i had a pretty consistent NSL and winning the "Most Outstanding Umpire" came to me as a big surprise. If anyone were to tell me i would win the award b4 the finals, i'd be laughing my head off (i'm sure a certain TWY would be too)! Btw the finals were pretty much an anti-climax to the season, which had earlier shown promises of excitment... Didn't really think i did a fantastic final myself anyway haha! I guess i'll have to improve myself constantly! Thanks though to all those who rooted for me, fellow umpires, trainers, AMK, EVG, Zenith ppl, not too sure about players and coaches, but most importantly to Pam who've always been there for me, good or bad times! Thanks love!

Adelaide, here i come!
