Current status[]

History[]

In 2011 it was discovered that the Association was founded in November 1911 by SACA Grade Cricket Umpires, Fred Thomas and Fred Adams, among others. The 2011/12 cricket season publicly celebrated its centenary with a 'Centenary Round' of SACA grade cricket, an historic photo of past and present umpires in front of the Adelaide Oval scoreboard (which also celebrated its centenary in 2011), a revival of the Association President's XI vs Vice-President's XI cricket match and a Centenary Dinner. Notable past members of the Association include Test Cricket umpires, Philip Argall and George Hele (who also umpired during the Bodyline series).
