Sylvester 'Chris' Campbell said his appointment to the Umpire Appointment Panel (UAP) for this year’s Commonwealth Games should serve as an inspiration to other local officials in the sport. The Commonwealth Games will be held in Glasgow, Scotland, from July 23 to August 2.

Campbell, who has served as a netball coach and official for the past 30 years, said he is ecstatic about the achievement and is looking forward to giving his best at the championships.

“I have been to two Commonwealth Games as an umpire but this is the first time in this capacity where I am going to be doing the appointments of the umpires for each game. I am looking forward to it because it is going to be a new challenge and new experience for me,” Campbell said.
