CONCERNING OBSTRUCTION RULE IN DOUBLES FINAL Goal-Keeper Included M'SEX DEFEAT EASTERN

In Jurisdiction:

Points To Remember Pte. Corrigan

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- Maçao encounter on Eastor Monday, when Macao defeated the Civilians 3-2.

The incident arose when a Civilian attacker was

ponalised 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.

4

Under the circumstancos, "bully" would have been the obvious decision, as in the opin. ion of the umpire both players were guilty of some offence. For the benefit of umpires in general, and our friends in Macao, I will explain the Ob-| 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 daxness of some umpires, generally apeaking, in not enforcing it, has been certain extent the esuse of our not playing the best type of hockey.

The Rule reads:

“A player shall not obstruct by running in between An opponent and the ball.........,nor shall he Inter- pose himself, or his stick, in any way as an obstruction to an oppon- | ent.......nor attack from an oppon- enl's left unless he touch the balli before he touch the stick or person of his opponent. There shall be no| charging, kicking, shoving, or striking at or holding an epponent by any means whatsoever."
