John Degueldre    

 

Qualified Asian Level Umpire

PNZ congratulates John Degueldre

 

PNZ paid for John to attend the APSBC Umpire's Course held in Thailand last month.

 

John says "I am back from Thailand. I have learnt a lot about rules, their interpretation and their application. We have were told from the beginning that the exams would not be easy and that they wouldn't be a gift. Now that I have passed the exams I can say they were very very difficult.

 

There were 20 candidates from all around Asia and only 2 passed the exams successfully: a Chinese candidate and ...Me! I am very pleased with my stay in Thailand and of course the results."
