It is the second-highest level obtainable and considered the first step on the pathway to “career umpiring”. Trowill started umpiring when he was coaching Auckland’s Ellerslie premier women’s team after he injured his Achilles tendon and was forced to retire from high- level competition. “When I was in a cast for a year I started umpiring and sat my Level 1 and 2 umpiring in Auckland . . . and the rest is history.” He said it was exciting to see the development of the next generation of umpires, with Gisborne’s Luke Fisher also getting his Level 3 qualification at just 16 years of age.
