Jim McSweeney (Finally) Hangs Up The Whistle

Jim McSweeney (Finally) Hangs Up The Whistle

After 60 years of umpiring in Sydney, Jim McSweeney, now in his early 80s has finally pulled the pin on umpiring.

He began his trade in the St George Junior Competition in 1958 and umpired his first 1st grade game in 1960 when teams were playing 16 aside.

His last game was at the recent AFL Masters Carnival in Sydney. We will speak to Jim soon and provide what should prove an interesting story on his life in umpiring.
