Craig Lobegeier is a mover and shaker in Mid North Coast Cricket and a great representative from the umpires.
Darren McCudden from Beechwood is the heart and soul of the committee who president Nik James believes gives it to you straight.

“We’re all individuals from different backgrounds and this provides a good balance of opinions but in the end we just want the best result for all concerned and with an eye to the future.”
“I’m happy to say I also seek advice from other experienced members on all sorts of issues including Pat Kerr, Harry Brady, Merv Bourke and Paul Byrne.”
