CONCERNING Goal-Keeper Included In Jurisdiction:

OBSTRUCTION

M'SEX DEFEAT

Points To Remember Pte. Corrigan

Wins Kowloon

WITH REFERENCE TO a controversy in a local contemporary, I have been approached by several players and umpires to give my opinion on the incident which occurred during the Civilian-: Macao encounter on Easter Monday, when Macao defeated the Civilians 3-2.

The incident arose when a Civilian attacker was penalised after he had been obstructed by a Macao defen- der. The umpire concerned, for reasons of his own, found fault with the former. It is my personal opinion as an umpire that the offence committed by the defender was sheer obstruction, and, therefore, he should have been penalised without question. However, the umpire found fault with the attacker and awarded the hit against his side, which was incorrect.

Under the circumstances, a "bully" would have been the obvious decision, as in the opin- ion of the umpire both players were, guilty some offence.

of For the benefit of ampires in general, and our friends in the Ob- Mucao, I will explain struction Rule.

This is one of the most important rules governing the game of hockey, and the abuse of it by players is one of the cardinal faults, and often the laxness of surne umpires, generally queaking, in not enforcing it, has been, ti

h certain extent the enuse of our not playing the best type of hockey.

The Rule reads:

A powerful Middlesex side beat a footsore Eastorn eleven three goals to one in their First Division League match at the Club ground yester- day.

Some there were who thought Eastern guilty of grossly under-rating their opponents, but three matches in four days is putting rather a strain on the players and they were unable to challenge the Mids.

Middlesex played superb foot- ball. Eastern's attack, with the possible exception of Cheung | Kam-hoj and Iau Ching-to, were as putty in the hands of Cooper and Shechan. Jackson, when called upon, saved well, but was never really tested.

The Portuguese pair in the third bit of their former set lost quite accuracy. There were several occa- ons on which they seemed unable to sight the shuttle, and made com- plete misscs. Yong and Chew never relaxed, and ran into a 12-1 lead. There was no doubt, at this stage, he would be the ultimate winners.
