Tuross Head bowlers will have a representative at the Commonwealth Games!
Joel Hilliard has been chosen by Bowls Australia to be a member of the team of umpires for the Games
Joel has been working towards his qualification as an Internationally accredited umpire for
some years and his appointment is a reward for his efforts. Like all sporting contests, Bowls
requires independent umpires to enforce the laws of the game. More importantly they are
called upon to determine close ‘measures’.
Joel will not only have the honour of being an umpire in at least two games – he knows he
has been appointed to a NZ and Canada match – he will also have the opportunity to watch
other matches in the Games.
Well done, Joel!
