In a historic moment for Bermudian cricket, a mother and daughter were part of the umpiring team for the Eastern County's second-round match between Bailey's Bay and Cleveland County.
The landmark occasion saw umpire Precious Smith make a second appearance on the field, while her mother, Wendy Woodley, served as the Third Umpire for the clash.
Smith had already etched her name into the history books in the first-round match, when she became the first-ever female umpire in the competition's 121-year history. Her appointment, along with her mother's role as Third Umpire, marks a new chapter for the prestigious competition, continuing a trailblazing trend for female officials in local sport.
