ENGINEERS' PROTEST REJECTED

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 wooks ago, has been rejected by the Hockey Um- pires Association. The Sappers were defeated 3-2, and suggosted 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 inissed the ball, A legitimate and a goal was signalled by the umpire. 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,"

I was a hard and fast game in brought before the Umpires Association arose last Sunday which the C.B.A received their rat during the C.B.A.-R.E.'s tourna ment match, when Sgt.

However, in the second half, after few more dangerous looking raids by the schoolgirls, the C.B.A rear- guard found their feet, and slowly the state of matters was allered. It was the visiting defenders' turn to falter.

Nice work on the right flanic be- tween Miss D. Moss and Miss Squires resulted in the latter equalising, and Mrs, Quick soon after made certain of victory with a splendid effort. Mrs. M.
