Scunthorpe umpire stands in most matches
A Scunthorpe and district umpire stood in more Lincolnshire League premier division games than anyone this summer. Mick Stothard, the former Broughton CC all-rounder, officiated in 10 matches - one more than fellow Scunthorpe panel colleagues Paul Goodhand and Brian Creasey.
Some 44 umpires - drawn from the Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Lincoln associations - handled premier division games during the 2009 season.
We don't have a mandate to publish the average marks gained by each official but can reveal 'perfect 10s' were awarded to umpires on six occasions by delighted captains.
The highest average over the season was 9.00 and the lowest 6.50, with 18 umpires averaging 8.0 or better, which reflects a pretty high standard.
Lincolnshire League statistician Andy Sharp has compiled a comprehensive table showing each umpire's marks in the top flight - copies going to the respective associations.
