Colin Goodenough will become the first Boundary Umpire in history of the NCCUA to reach 250 Black Diamond Cup matches as a Boundary Umpire this weekend.
Goodenough’s achievement in umpiring 250 Black Diamond Cup matches has only been achieved on 2 other occasions: Darrel Luck leads the group on 334 Cup matches (331 field – 3 boundary) and John Sullivan on 258 matches (6 field, 252 goal).
Colin commenced umpiring in 2006 and, along with his patented headband, has not missed a year since.
Goodenough has officiated in 333 matches, the fourth highest total in NCCUA history and 314 BDAFL matches as a Boundary Umpire.
His tally includes; 250 Cup, 22 Plate, 10 Second Division, 10 Reserve Grade, 17 Under 18’s and 5 Women’s Matches.
Colin’s other 19 matches come as a Goal Umpire.
Colin’s Grand Finals include: 2 Black Diamond Cup Grand Finals (2007, 2008); 3 Black Diamond Plate Grand Finals (2012, 2013, 2017); 2 Second Division Grand Finals (2014, 2016), 2 Reserve Grade Grand Finals (2010, 2011), 1 Under 18’s Grand Final (2006) and the Inaugural BDAFL Women’s Grand Final (2015).
Colin has also officiated in two representative fixtures: 2008 Under 18’s and 2009 First Grade.
Along with his wife, Rachel, the Goodenough family have officiated in a whopping 562 BDAFL matches!
The NCCUA congratulate and thank Colin for his continued services to umpiring and wish him all the very best for his historic appearance in the AFL Hunter Central Coast Football League.
