The eye of the storm

IF you ask most football supporters their opinion, a dark cloud has always hung over the umpires, the men in yellow who on Saturday were under the spotlight for a good reason, with Round 4 of Casey Cardinia Football being played under the banner of Umpires Appreciation Round. The tight-knit group about to officiate the big-clash between Cranbourne and Berwick at Casey Fields on Saturday are, from left; Paul Bast, Rhys Sherlock, Robert Ellis, Brett Chard, Craig Morrison, Corey Mastrangioli and Chris Osborne. 119651 Picture: ROB CAREW
