Moran Debuts as State Panel Umpire

Daniel Moran today makes his Women’s List A debut, umpiring his first match as a member of the NSW State Panel as the WNCL begins at North Sydney Oval.

Moran is entering his fifth season umpiring NSW Premier Cricket, making his First Grade debut in 2018-19, having now overseen 42 matches in the grade, as well as two Fifth Grade Finals.

He spent several seasons umpiring with the Newcastle District Cricket Umpires’ Association before moving to Premier Cricket, having been in the middle for 60 NDCA First Grade matches including four finals.

Moran represented NSW at the 2019-20 U18 Female National Championships in Tasmania and the 2018-19 National Indigenous Cricket Championships at Alice Springs, where he was appointed to the Men’s Division Final.

Off the field, he has been involved with the NDCUA on their appointment and training committees and is now involved with NSWCUSA as a trainer, which has seen him facilitate Laws of Cricket courses and present at Annual Conventions.

He will be joined on-field by Andrew Hamilton for the day/night match between New South Wales and Queensland, with NSWCUSA members Toni Lorraine and Robyn Sanday scoring the fixture.

Moran joins the four-strong State Panel for the 2022-23 season, replacing Sharad Patel who has been elevated to Cricket Australia’s Supplementary Umpire Panel.

He will join returning umpires Andrew Hamilton, Roberto Howard and Bede Sajowitz on the panel which will be involved in WBBL, WNCL, Second XI and CA National Underage Championships.
