Jake Bateman becomes the 22nd field umpire to reach 50 Premier Matches.
Jake is a current "Emerging" umpire within the NSW Umpire's Pathway scheme and is the current AFL Central Coast Junior Umpire's coach.
In 2015, he umpired his First Premier Division Grand Final.
Interestingly, Jake headlines a band with a growing popularity on the Central Coast titled "Stranger Than Paradise". He combines his love of music with his flair for umpiring and is making a great fist of both pursuits.
The NCCUA wishes Jake all the very best of luck for his milestone match.
