For those that "know" what I do at the weekend ....
It's taken a couple of days to process the weekend - but here goes .....
Absolutely π― humbled, amazed and totally speechless to receive the Graham Nash NPUA Umpire of the Year award at the 2026 conference
I'm still amazed, shell shocked by the nomination and very overwhelmed by the love and reaction in the room
HUGE thanks to all the Teams, Managers, NPUA assessors & coaches along with my fellow Umpires for their support during the season
Without those people - NONE of this would have happened
My journey throughout the years has never been an "accelerated one" and in my chaotic usual style I DO get there in the end !!
FOREVER grateful and thankful to everyone who has been on the end of the phone, WhatsApp or generally kicked my chunky butt when needed
In true "Nikki bat s**t" craziness ..... Let's see what 26/27 brings β€οΈ
And again THANK YOOOOOOO ###
