2026 First Grade Shirt Presentations

The 2026 season has seen our First Grade Men's numbered field umpire shirts continue to be presented at our season launch by our Platinum Sponsor, Fortis Physiotherapy. 

The initial presentation of eight shirts to those umpires who were selected to officiate in Huddle Round took place at EPC Solar Park on 25 May 2026. Scott Gordon, Director of Fortis Physiotherapy, was on hand to present the shirts. Further presentations will be made as required throughout the season.

As a salute to the AFLCUA's history, the presenters following Round 1 are all Life Members of the Association and we are looking to continue this tradition for all future field umpires on the occasion of their first appointment into First Grade for the season.
