The WACUA is reaching out with immense sadness to share the news of Trevor Krink’s sudden passing. Trevor was in the Northern Territory, umpiring as he had done for many years, continuing his commitment to cricket and the community he cherished.

Throughout his distinguished involvement in WA Premier Cricket, Trevor officiated in 151 Senior games, including 20 First grade, 53 Second grade, 29 Third grade, 29 Fourth grade, 9 T20, and 11 Colts. His dedication extended further, with 53 Senior female grade games, 20 Junior female games, and 62 Junior male games. Altogether, Trevor umpired a total of 286 games, a testament to his enduring passion and unwavering commitment to umpiring.

Beyond WA Premier Cricket, Trevor was currently umpiring in the WASTCA and was a familiar face in the Northern Territory throughout the winter months, lending his expertise to their cricket season. His involvement in cricket was far-reaching, with strong associations to the Peel Cricket Association, Peel Junior Cricket Association, and Rockingham Mandurah District Cricket Club. Trevor’s love for the game was evident not only through his umpiring but in all aspects of cricket, and he enriched the lives of many through his enthusiasm and dedication.

Trevor’s loss is deeply felt within the cricket community and by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Our heartfelt condolences are extended to his partner, Natalie, and all their family during this difficult time. To support Trevor’s loved ones, NT match officials have organised a GoFundMe page for those who wish to contribute. If you would like to make a donation, please click on the link:

Rest in peace, Trevor. You were taken far too early, and your legacy will live on in the cricket community and in the hearts of all those who admired your commitment and passion.
