What started as a way to improve her own game has quickly blossomed into a passion that Bree Searle hopes will one day take her to the top.
Just over a year ago, the 15 year old thought âwhy notâ to umpiring a Mackay Cricket Womenâs match and not long after she was at square leg for a junior Bulls Masters tournament at Harrup Park.

âI just felt like I wanted to get to know the game a bit more,â she said.
