Scottish umpires exchange visit proves big success
Ryan has been in the NW before as a scorer on the European panel and it was there that he met NW Umpires Chairman, Roly Black, and when the opportunity arose to come across to do a game, the pair were happy to oblige.
The original plan was that they would settle in at their hotel on Friday evening before their respective matches on Saturday; however Noel Dunn wasn’t long in finding a game for them.
Neither man was tested too rigorously with Newbuildings shot out for just 34 as Brigade cruised to an eight wicket win.
Willie is a member of the Strathmore club and Ryan’s from Forfarshire.
