• 1) The purpose of the association are :
• a) Recruitment and training of umpires in all provinces,

It is a very exciting time for members of Leinster Umpires Association as they are the one will be setting up the new association. They would be looking forward for support and cooperation from Provincial Branches and members of ITTA, as they have enjoyed in the past.
