Sim Shield Hockey Tourney Ends
ENGLISH H.A. RULING ADOPTED
(By Centre Half.)
THE SIM SHIELD, which has been competed for annually by the Hong Kong Hockey Club, the Navy and the Army since 1925, is no more in existence.
The withdrawal of the three teams from the Sim Shield was de- cided upon by the Club, the Navy and the Army, who are all atlllint- ed to the English Hockey Association, which forbids competitive hockey for a trophy. The matter was first brought up by the Navy following the Mamak Hockey Tournament ruling.
✓
The decision to abolish the com- petition for the Shield presented by Mr. E. L. Sim was inevitable in view of Rule 15 of the English Hockey Association which states:
"No amliated association and no player belonging to any affiliated nasociation and no player or member of any auch club shall institute or take part in any hockey challenge eup or priza competition, any any affiliated association elub, player or member zo offending skall be dealt with by the Council under Rule 16."
MAMAK TOURNAMENT. PRESIDENT INTERVIEWED.
When interviewed by the China Mail this morning, Mr. E. W. Hamilton, President of the Mamak Tournament, stated that the Sim Shield decisioni had. no affect on the Momak Tournament, as it was already known that the Mamak Shield was withdrawn on November 25 last year. The Sim Shield had followed what the Mamak Tournament had already done In regard to the withdrawal of the trophy.
