Three EDFL Umpires To Officiate VFL Women’s, TAC Cup Grand Finals

Sunday at Etihad Stadium


FORMER EDFL field umpires Jack Howard, Michael Pell and Nathan Toner (pictured) will take the field at Etihad Stadium this weekend.

It is a wonderful result for the EDFL Umpiring Program, which continues to promote up-and-coming umpires through the ranks under the guidance of Umpiring & Development Manager, Rowan Sawers.

Howard was selected as one of the three field umpires for the VFL Women’s Grand Final between Diamond Creek and Darebin on Sunday morning.

Then, following the VFL Grand Final later in the day, both Pell and Toner will officiate in the TAC CUP Grand Final between Geelong and Sandringham.

You’ll be able to watch both games on Sunday, with the VFL Women’s Grand Final to be broadcast live on Channel Seven and the TAC Cup decider to be live on Fox Footy.

The EDFL congratulates all three umpires and the EDFL Umpiring Program on this significant achievement.
