Two of our NIACUS Umpires, Sam Alexander & Ian Houston, passed their 80th birthdays last winter and so became the first Octogenarians take the field as Umpires this summer. A tremendous achievement, as they both continue to umpire in our Senior Leagues. They are still two highly respected Umpires who turn out every Saturday and also during the week. Sam has been umpiring for over 30 years and Ian 28 years. Ian has also been our Appointsments Secretary for the past 22 years.

Congratulations to them and let’s hope they continue for many more seasons.
