I have now umpired a couple of cricket games and I have enjoyed the experience. The team has not won much, but it has been good.
We won the warm-up game against the school development team (ie the colts team), but then lost to OBHS and to KHS in the league. That was followed by another loss, this time to the school development team. Still, we have played quite well, we just need to put up more runs, catch a few more catches, and get a few more wickets!
Good news was that my son played one game. He was kind of bored, but at least he played a game.
