Teens officiate at Kardinia Park
FOUR Warrnambool teens enjoyed the ‘experience of a lifetime’ when they donned their green uniforms and ran out on to Kardinia Park last weekend.
As members of the Warrnambool and District Football Umpires Association, Matthew Gome, Kyle Hutchins, Zoe Graham and Dylan Denaro were selected to officiate the AusKick matches during the half-time break of the round nine match between Geelong and Port Adelaide.
Their experience was part of the 2024 ‘Community Umpiring Week’ celebrations in which the AFL aimed to highlight the invaluable contribution and role all 17,000 registered community umpires play in all levels of football, around the country.
The Warrnambool district is well served by a large group of umpires who dedicate their weekends to officiate at games across both the Warrnambool and Hampden leagues.
