2024 First Grade Numbered Shirt Presentations

The 2024 season has seen numbered field umpire shirts continue to be presented for the First Grade Men's Competition.

The initial presentation of nine shirts to those umpires who were selected to officiate in Round 1 took place at the Season Launch event, with further presentations made as required throughout the season.

As a salute to the AFLCUA's history, the presenters are all Life Members of the Association and we are looking to continue this tradition for all future field umpires on the occasion of their first appointment into First Grade for the season.
