Welsh Netball Umpires to Officiate at U17s Netball Europe

Welsh Netball is pleased to share the news that two of its Talent Identified Performance Umpires have been named to officiate at the upcoming Under 17s Netball Europe Open Championships.

Rhian Edwards and Becky Scott have both been confirmed as umpires for the tournament taking place in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, next year in March. Rhian will be umpiring in the Performance Championship Section which includes the top tier countries England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Becky will be umpiring in the Challenge Cup section which includes the developing tier countries of Switzerland, Gibraltar, Ireland, Malta, UAE and Isle of Man.
