R. ENGINEERS'
Week-end Incidents For Umpires Consideration: Player Sent Off
THE PROTEST lodged by the Royal Engineers Hockey Club with reference to their game against the Radio and Postal Sports Club three weeks ago, has been rejected by the Hockey Um- piros Association. The Sappers were defeated 3-2, and suggested a replay,
The point in dispute arose when a goal was disallowed the Engineers in the opening stages of the game, and this is what happened:
The ball was hit by one of the Sappers from outside the circle, whereupon in attempting to make a clearance both the Radio right back and goalkeeper missed the ball,. and a goal was signalled by the umpire. A legitimate appeal by both goalkeeper and back was made simultane- ously to the umpire, who stated that he thought the ball had been hit in the circle, and immediately reversed his decision for a "25 yard centre bully."
