PFL Umpires Association

🏉 Milestone Match – Graeme Cook

A massive congratulations to Cookie, who reaches an extraordinary 950 games this weekend — a truly remarkable milestone that few achieve.

Graeme’s dedication to umpiring has been outstanding over many years, and his continued contribution — now supporting both field and goal umpiring — highlights his passion and commitment to the game.

950 games is an incredible achievement and a testament to everything Graeme has given to umpiring since he began in 1997.

Congratulations, Graeme — an unforgettable milestone and one to be immensely proud of.

🏉 Milestone Match – Paul Dijkstra

Three hundred games and still going strong — take a bow, Paul Dijkstra, our poster boy!

This weekend marks Paul’s 300th game, a milestone that speaks volumes about his passion, persistence, and love for the whistle.

From first throw to final siren, Paul has been a constant presence out there, and this achievement is a testament to his commitment to the craft.

Congrats, Paul!! 300 down and plenty more to come!

🏉 Milestone Match – Kane Hoddy
