📣 RETIREMENT GAME 📣
Massive congratulations to SANFLUA member and goal umpire Matthew Cummins who will hang up the flags after tomorrow’s league grand final!
Matthew debuted in 2006 and will umpire his 363rd and final game tomorrow. Along with 363 games, Matthew will have umpired in 10 league grand finals and has received the golden flags on 6 occasions.
Although Matthew has had a simply unbelievable career from a statistics perspective, he will be remembered for his leadership and mateship for every umpire, no matter how old or young, experienced or inexperienced.
He served as president through the difficult COVID years and Matt was the perfect leader for the challenges that arose during these years. Not someone to shy away from banter that always toes the line, he is a great mate to many and will be for years to come post his on-field career.
Good luck Matthew, enjoy being apart of a huge grand final and we wish you all the best for whatever your future may hold!
