McGill is a finalist in the Young Official of the Year category which comes after a big 12 months.
The umpire started officiating grade cricket during the 2019/20 TDCA season and stepped up to umpire Connolly Cup clashes this season just gone.

The presentation ceremony will be hosted by the Hon. Dr Geoff Lee MP, Acting Minister for Sport, who will also present the recipients of the Sport NSW Distinguished Long Service Award with special recognition for their exceptional service to sport.
