I was very shocked and saddened to hear of Alan's passing last night. I first remember Alan playing for the lower C'ville teams when I was there and he watched alot of games at greenisland. A friendly umpire and someone who put in alot of work, time and effort into umpiring on and off the field, and will no doubt be missed by the rest of his colleagues and players in the NCU. I would like to pass on my condolences to the Waugh family at this Difficult time.

Really saddened to hear of the death of Alan Waugh. Alan was a good umpire to share a joke with out in the middle and a gent off the park.
Condolensences to his family circle.

Shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden death of my old friend Alan Waugh. He will be sadly missed by his friends in Greenisland and Cliftonville cricket. Best remembered as an umpire, he will always be in my thoughts as a team mate and a wise old head for the young guns that John Solanky introduced to cricket at Greenisland in the 1980's.

Our condolences to his family at this sad time.

I was very saddened to hear of Alan Waugh's sudden passing. It is scary to think that he was fit and well at ND's final game vs CIYMS just last saturday.

Very sad news and i extend my sincere condolences to Alans family at this really sad time.

RIP Alan

Alan Waugh
It is with great sadness that we have learned of the untimely death of Alan. He was a genuine lover of cricket and through umpiring he found his niche. he worked hard for the umpires behind the scene and he was a popular official throughout the union and beyond when umpiring. Coupled with the sad passing of Harry Henderson,this has been a tough week for the umpiring fraternity and we extend sincere condolences to both family circles.

I'm sure I speak for all players and officials around the Union when I express my sadness and regret at the sudden passing of Alan Waugh. Alan was not only a fine umpire but a decent bloke and Ulster cricket will be the lesser for his loss. :(

Sympathies to the family circle from all at Armagh CC.

Sam - the net runs rates are on the NCU website. Millpark still have one game to play so run rates may not come into it. However, if they fail to win their final game against Cregagh on Sunday, or if it is scrubbed because of the weather, they have a comfortable advantage over Cooke Collegians and should be promoted.

Its was the height of the delivery that caused the confusion !

How can it be above the batsman's waist on the full (in which case it is a no-ball), when the ball hit the top of the stumps and removing the bails in the process ?

OUT ! bowled !!

I believe my original decision or (non-decision), was indeed the correct one at that time !!

RE: Vic bowled off the full toss.

It isn't the striker's end umpire who calls the no ball for height.

I will stand to be corrected but as square leg umpire you don't actually call a full toss no ball but you can advise the other standing umpire of it's height. I believe it is a no ball if it passes waist height in the batsmans normal standing position. I think technically it can be a no ball and hit the stumps but again I'll stand to be corrected
