Comments On Penalty

Infringements Within The Circle: When Goals Are Awarded

For any breach of any Rulo (except Rule 9) and for an intentional breach of Rule 9, after a warning by the umpire:

(i) by the attacker, the game shall be restarted at the contre of the nearor twonty-five yard line,

(ii) by a defendor, a goal shall be awarded to the opposing side. For a simultaneous breach of Rule 9 and 10 by both players, the bully shall be played again.

Distinctly Laid Down

It is distinctly laid down that a penalty bully is to be ordered when the scoring of a goal is prevented by any breach of Rule 10, whether intentional or otherwise..

If it is considered that a foul by a defender inside the circle has deprived the attacker of a certain goal, give a penalty bully. Don't think or allow the players to think that a penalty bully is only awarded for a de liberate breach of a rule.

Some players are apt to regard the award of a penally bully as a per- sonal reflection on their play; it is nothing of the sort. It is only in- tended to be a more severe penalty than a penalty corner, because the breach of the rule took place in position from which

Many of the teams are dishing out a brand of real classy ball both in the field and with the willow- wand. The only position which has not kept pace with the upward trend, since the introduction of this game here, appears to be the pitching department,
