Scheduled to umpire in the Senior Knock-out finals ( COW Rangers v NCC Ballers) as indicated on her umpiring fixture and highlighted, Miss Phillips turned up and informed the venue/court official that she was available for 'duty' only to be told she was just the reserve? NONSENSE !!!!!
The Barbados Netball Association and it's League Committee should be more tolerant and respectful of people's feelings. This situation should never had occured and wouldn't have if the Executive had told Miss Phillips before her arrival at the Stadium that her services weren't required.
Subtly ONE officer of the League Committee had indirectly said that she wasn't the 'fixtured' umpire and when asked for verification, said she wasn't sure.
It was unfortunate that all this played out ( pun intended) in front of a relatively large crowd of spectators who can never and will never feel the emabarrassment and humiliation of Miss Phillips.
TOTALLY UNFAIR !!!!
