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 rojected by the Hockey Um- piros Association. The Sappors 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, A legitimate and a goal was signalted 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."

SECOND incident to be A

brought before the Umpires Association arose last Sunday during the C.B.A.-R.E.'s tourna ment match, when Sgt. Croston, the Sappers' pivot, received marching orders, after he had been previously warned by one of the umpires.

I am given to understand that he was sent off the field for ungentle manly conduct, and will, in duc course, be called up by the Umpires

Association.

I was present at the match, and, than n in my opinion, not more sovere caution should be meted out to the offender, as anything that was seen at that moment was not meant by the player.

Young Terry Lockhart, in goal, gave a rattling good display, and his two brilliant saves in the second half must have broken the hearts of the RE attackers.

TN a Caer Clark Cup fixture last Saturday at King's Park, C.B.A. ladies obtained their first maximum points when they defeated the C.B.S. 3-2. In the early stages, though they took the lead through Miss Squires, the home defence could not get a grip on the lively C.B.S. at- tackers, and were actually in arrears at half time.

However, in the second half, after a few more dangerous looking raids by the schoolgirls, the CB.A. rear- guard found their feet, and slowly! the state of matters was altered. It to the falter.
