We are excited to have onboard two visiting umpires with us at ABCUA. Cheers to Bernie Dodwell from England and Renael Alfred from St.Lucia.

Bernie is an M3 graded umpire under the England and Wales Cricket Board and officiates at County Premier League level within the Surrey Cricket Championship. Bernie is with us while he is on extended vacation in Antigua.

Renael, a fully certified West Indies Cricket umpire, is a member of the St. Lucia Cricket Umpires & Scorers Association, where he has previously served as Secretary and Vice President. Renael will call ABCUA home while he is in pursuit of educational opportunities in Antigua.

ABCUA values these opportunities to strengthen both regional and international partnerships as we continue contributing to the development of our cricketing community🥳.

Clock that!
