HKHAMS 22-23 Circular No. 11 -Reckless Play in Winter League
Dear Convenors,
It is brought to our attention that there was a serious injury during the match Valley A vs KNS A on 5 October 2022. After reviewing the video evidence and consulting Umpires’ Section, HKHAMS committee comes to a conclusion that the action of the involved player is a reckless action, which is very dangerous and eventually causing injury to another player. As a result, a 3 matches suspension is imposed to the involved player by the committee in accordance to Competition Bye-law 16.9.
Reckless play refers to the behaviour of a player disregard the safety of another player. HKHAMS committee has no tolerance to any behaviour that may bring the game hockey into disrepute. Please help us convey the message of the importance of safety and sportsmanship to all your players.
HKHAMS will continue our effort to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for all teams to participate in our league.
Regards,
Francis Ho
HKHAMS chairman
