2025 First Grade Shirt Presentations

The 2025 season has seen our First Grade Men's numbered field umpire shirts continue to be presented, with this year being the first in which our shirts have the branding of our Platinum Sponsor, Fortis Physiotherapy.

The initial presentation of eight shirts to those umpires who were selected to officiate in Round 1 took place at EPC Solar Park on 9 April 2025. Scott Gordon, Director of Fortis Physiotherapy, together with our Fortis umpire contact Bella Rees were on hand to present the shirts. Further presentations will be made as required throughout the season.

As a salute to the AFLCUA's history, the presenters following Round 1 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.
