The South Australian Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association ("SACUSA") is a group representing cricket umpires and scorers in the state of South Australia.

Current status

History

The 2011/12 cricket season publicly celebrated its centenary with a 'Centenary Round' of SACA grade cricket, an historic photo of past and present umpires in front of the Adelaide Oval scoreboard (which also celebrated its centenary in 2011), a revival of the Association President's XI vs Vice-President's XI cricket match and a Centenary Dinner. Notable past members of the Association include Test Cricket umpires, Philip Argall and George Hele (who also umpired during the Bodyline series).

Awards

The SACUSA has an annual awards ceremony that acknowledges high achieving umpires with such awards as the Umpire of the Year, Best under 21 umpire and most improved.

The Bradman Medal, awarded to the best player in the South Australian Grade Cricket League, is presented by the SACUSA. The award was conceived by members of the SACUSA in the late 1950s and was first awarded in the 1958 – 1959 season.
