Five NSWCUSA Members Appointed to WBBL|06 Final

NSWCUSA member Claire Polosak and Eloise Sheridan tonight become the first female pairing to oversee a national final when they officiate the WBBL|06 Final at North Sydney Oval.

The Stars v Thunder Final will be Polosak’s second consecutive WBBL Final, having also been on field in last year’s final between the Heat and the Strikers in Brisbane.

The match will be her seventh on-field in WBBL|06 and her 25th since making her WBBL debut in the inaugural season in 2015-16.

A South Australian State Panel umpire, Sheridan is officiating her first WBBL Final – in her 14th match.

The pair were also on field together last weekend at North Sydney Oval as the Hobart Hurricanes played the Perth Scorchers.

The Final will be recorded by two of New South Wales’ most experienced scorers – Mosman’s Toni Lorraine and Fairfield-Liverpool’s Kay Wilcoxon.

The match will be Wilcoxon’s last as a representative scorer having decided to step away from representative duties, signing off by overseeing her second WBBL Final.

Partnering her, Toni Lorraine will be recording her first WBBL Final, coming in her 42nd match and her 19th for the summer.

NSWCUSA members Tony Wilds and Troy Penman are also involved in the Final, with Wilds appointed as Third Umpire and Penman Fourth Umpire for the fixture.

Steve Bernard will act as Match Referee for the fixture.
