Well Division 2 grand finals are only hours away and the nerves would be setting in for both player and umpires.

This weekend marks some history for the NUA. For this first time we will see 3 boundary umpires and 3 field umpires in a NFL game.

Jack Edwards becomes one of the youngest field umpire to do an 'A' Grade grand final, along with current VFL Umpire, Brent Pauley.

Charlie Kamolins will umpire in his last NFL game after announcing his retirement.

Brian Moore will do his first Grand Final in some time after spending many years on the DVFL umpires board.

GOOD LUCK to all umpires this weekend.

Another great set of photos are now uploaded in the photo gallery from last weekends action at Preston. Many thanks to Craig Herman for sending them through.

Photos are always welcome at webmaster@umpires.org.au

** Please also note that if you are coming along to Cramer St, the NFL have allocated FREE parking at the NMIT carpark, off St Georges Road, for both Division's Grand Finals. Gates open from 8am and will be closed at 6pm sharp. **
