From Port Hedland Facebook – 21 April 2026

Hi All, the North Pilbara football league kicks off this Thursday 23 April and Friday 24 April in Port Hedland. We are very short of umpires.

With out umps the game does not happen. [Field, boundary, goals or trainer]

Please consider giving it a go is great for fitness and making new friends.

At the moment we have 65 year old who has umpired since 1989 and an up and coming 14 year old.

Yes the clubs have been asked to supply one, but this is only makeshift and has problems.

Please come down Thursday and Friday night to Port Hedland oval.

Or call 0417933770 for more info.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Uniforms, whistles and dress t-shirt are supplied , training is also provided.

Thanks for reading this, Oh and you do get paid, most times weekly once all bank details are supplied, please remember those who process are volunteers and now and then can be a week late.

Kind Regards,

Michael Findlay.
