Jamaican umpire to officiate at Commonwealth Games

The International Federation of Netball Associations (IFNA) has selected Jamaican netball umpire Sylvester Campbell to officiate in this year’s Commonwealth Games, which will be held in India from October 3 to 14.



Campbell, who received an International Umpires Association award in 2005 from the IFNA, will be making his second appearance at the Games.



The 41-year-old Campbell created history at the last Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia, in 2006 by becoming the first male to officiate in the final.



He’s also a cadet on the International Testing Panel, which is responsible for the testing and training of international umpires.
