DOUBLE DEBUTS FOR STATE PANEL PARTNERS

N.S.W. State Umpire Panel members Jeff Egan and Patrick Jackson will take the next step on their officiating journey when they debut at List A level tomorrow (11 October) at Cricket Central, where the NSW Breakers take on Western Australia in the Women’s National Cricket League. Temora-based Country Umpire of the Year 2024-25 Egan and former Blues first-class player Jackson were elevated to the State Panel this season in recognition of their consistently high performances in the representative arena.

The match will provide the chance to broaden their experience as they progress in their development and if the match is half as exciting as Thursday’s clash between the two teams, it will be a great experience for them. They will be joined by Mitchell Claydon as Third Umpire and Match Referee Janine Stainer. Best wishes are offered to both Jeff and Patrick for a memorable match, which commences at 10:00am Sydney time and can be viewed on Foxtel, Kayo and at cricket.com.au
