Congratulations to Grange Over 60’s captain, Chris Whibley, who has been appointed to umpire at the Over 60’s World Cup at the Sunshine Coast in September, 2022.
Chris has been umpiring for about 18 seasons, first at Adelaide & Suburban Cricket Association for 12 seasons and the last six at Adelaide Turf Cricket Association and SACA. Chris was on the Committee of the ATCUSA for six years including two as Chairman. Chris organised the Adelaide Turf Umpires Hall of Fame in 2021 and did a sterling job liaising with SACA at that time.
In 2020 Chris was one of the umpires in the Over 50’s South Australia v Victoria Over 50’s game at Mt Gambier and the following month he stood in the SAVCA Over 50’s Grand Final. Last season he umpired the Over 60’s Tanner Shield Grand Final. Chris has been playing veterans cricket since 2018, first with South West Eagles and now Grange.
