Well, they did it again! The VFL Senior field umpires went back to back and were victorious in the 2010 Mini Olympics.

Held annually in honour of Paul Anderson and in support of the Cancer Council of Victoria the event for this year was another success.  The total raised will be advertised when known. If you have not added your donation please see your track rep and do so as soon as possible.

It was great to see the Anderson family in attendance again and we are grateful for their continuing support. thanks must also go to the VFL Umpiring Department,  Dan Beard and the ‘chefs’ who prepared the BBQ for the closing ceremonies.

Photos of the night are available here. (Thanks to Richo)
