Information for umpires and scorers in Queensland

State Development Panel

  • Simon Bussey

    After playing grade cricket in Brisbane for 15 years at Western Suburbs DCC, and a couple of overseas stints with Pembury & Cambridge Granta CC, Simon shifted his focus to life after playing. Stepping into the umpiring scene was a logical decision for Simon, as his love and passion for the game burns bright. Professionally Simon works in the health & fitness space which in addition to his long history in cricket, gives him the groundwork to become the best umpire he can be. In Simon’s personal and professional life, he continually strives to be the best in anything he does and looks forward to the challenges umpiring has in store for him.

  • Nick Marjason

Nick has also completed the CPA Program and works as a finance officer with CSIRO.
