The NCCUA’s Annual Presentation night was held in late September 2014 to recognise the achievements of umpires throughout the 2014 BDAFL Season. The night was celebrated by past and present members of the NCCUA in Newcastle.
The winner of the converted NCCUA Umpire of the Year award was an up and coming promising young Umpire who in 2014 was on the NEAFL Development Squad and umpired his second Premier Division (Black Diamond Cup) grand final. Congratulations to Lachlan Head (pictured).
The Umpire who won the BDAFL Umpire of the Year award at the Elliott Davey Medal night in 2014 was another promising young umpire, Joshua Duffy-Sykes.
