Parkes Phoenix

Our Bloke – Trevor Chatman

March 4, 2022 By Maggi Barnard

Trevor Chatman
Referee, Umpire or Official of the Year

Where were you born? In Parkes.

Were you named after anyone? No.

Which of your accomplishments are you most proud of? Winning a couple of grand finals with Reedy Creek Cricket Club.

What historical moment stands out most in your memory? Watching the Sydney Swans win their first AFL Grand final in 2005.

What is the single best piece of advice you have ever received? Keep the ball on the ground – that’s fine for cricket but not so good for golf!

What is the greatest risk you have ever taken? Letting my daughter drive the header.

What are the 3 things you would take to a deserted island? My wife – so I didn’t get lost, my recliner – so I had somewhere to sleep, and my golf sticks.

If you had to spend $10,000 today, how would you spend it? I’d buy a couple of ton of Super to put the crop in.

When are you happiest? When I am playing or watching sport… so my wife says.
