WESTERN District Umpires Association (WDUA) has avoided having to shut down as an new committee was voted in at a Special General Meeting of the Association on Wednesday night after the original Annual General Meeting was closed without a committee in place.

The WDUA had previously posted in its social media page that “Wednesday was D-Day” for the association as the only way it could continue into 2025 was to have a new committee in place, otherwise under its constitution it would have to disband.
