Our Umpiring Convenor has been busy testing our fabulous group of umpires over the last couple of weeks – apologies’ for not advertising these achievements earlier. Keep an eye out for these girls looking sharp in their official Rangers Umpiring Shirts.
Sophie Jenkins – Welcome to the Rangers Team White “C” Club. After working hard for the last few years Sophie stepped up to the higher level and achieved her National ‘C’ Umpiring Badge. Having shown her confidence of the three rules of umpiring (Positioning, Vision and Timing) on an ‘A” Reserve game – the two independent testers had no hesitation in awarding her this badge. Great effort Sophie – another Bamford/Jenkins
