Umpires & Umpiring

Umpires are an essential part of every cricketing environment - and ours very much so!

And that's why they get a page all to themselves (it helps that the Webmaster is a member of the fraternity......).

To see the latest umpire roster (match-allocation), please refer to the combined fixtures-umpires table on the Competitions pages, under the heading Fixtures.

At the request of clubs at ACCSO AGM 2017, we've prepared a briefing document for umpires to use before a match, to inform captains and players how the match will be conducted.

If the question of Penalty Runs and sanctions comes up, there's a table (in both English and French) which matches all offences under the Laws with local ACCSO sanctions.

Copy here:

Our umpires are well-dressed (of course!) and very well-read.

They'll know The Laws inside out and back to front - including the recent changes in place since 1st April 2019.

But a refresher can be found here, on the MCC site.

ACCSO match regulations have their very own page on this site and it's there that umpires will also find

• Match-Day Actions summary of what-to-do on the ground
• The ACCSO Disciplinary Procedure
• The Match Report form, which requires sign-off by umpires.
• Sportmanship Award Form, to be completed by both umpires, at the ground, post match

Umpires have sole responsibility for assessing the fair play aspects of all competitive matches.

Our cricket is generously sponsored by Blevins Franks,

who provide financial services to people moving to - and living in - France.
