Paul Bibby appointed to lead Umpiring Advisory Group

Paul Bibby has been appointed as the Chair of the newly established England Lacrosse Umpiring Advisory Group.

The Umpiring Advisory Group, working under the guidance of the Officiating Advisory Group and National Lacrosse Committee, has been created to lead on the strategy for the future of umpiring in England.

The Group will provide guidance and expertise on the application of rules for the domestic game, work with regions to promote umpiring across the country, and act as a point of contact for any relevant umpiring issues.

Paul is a highly experienced and well-respected official within the women’s game on a domestic and international level.

He began umpiring in 2006 and since earning his Level 5 award in August 2015, has officiated at senior and U19 level World and European Championships, along with numerous Home Internationals and National Championships throughout Europe.

Following Paul’s appointment, we are now looking for representatives from the sport in England to join the Advisory Group.

The Group is looking for members from across the wide range of sectors within the game to give the Group the widest spectrum of views possible.
