A schoolmaster by profession,[2] Adams began officiating in county cricket in the Minor Counties Championship in 1987.[3] He first officiated in List A one-day matches in 1991, when he stood at Canterbury in the match between Kent and Cambridgeshire in the NatWest Trophy. Adams officiated in List A matches until 2002, standing in 12 matches in the NatWest Trophy (and from 2001, its successor the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy), in addition to standing in one match between first-class counties in the 2001 Norwich Union League.[4]
In addition to standing in List A matches, Adams also stood in 23 first-class matches from 1992 to 2002, following an invitation to join the first-class reserve umpires list for 1992. The matches he stood in typically involved touring sides playing county opponents, or Oxford and Cambridge Universities. None of the 23 first-class matches that he stood in were in the County Championship.[5] Besides umpiring in men's cricket, Adams also umpired in a Women's One Day International between England and Australia at Derby in 2001.[6] He was the headmaster of St Ignatius' College in Enfield, before retiring in 2007.[2]
