ADDITIONALSENTENCES FOR SUSPENTED MAMAK HOCKEY PLAYERS
There has been a sequel to the Mamak League match incident which led to the tournament committee suspending a player and cautioning another.
The incident was reported to the Hongkong Hockey Associa tion which endorsed the Mamak Committee's decision, and then went a step further by suspending the Xavier brothers from fur-, ther participation this season in friendly hockey matches.
The Umpires' Hockey Board has taken a serious view of A. 5. Xavier's case, and as he is a qualified umpire they have suspended him from playing in any further friendly fixtures. He can, how. ever, play in Mamak League matches.
