The 7-a-side was at Khalsa, with David T and Srini as team selectors.
Reds: Gerard, Sushil, Imran, Eam, Alex Lin, Steve F, Srini (C)
Whites: Chern Yang, Mark Li, Wilson, Sean, Jessen, Kee Hoe, David (C)
After the game, Srini informed me that he had had an altercation with an opposing player. He said he committed a bad mistimed tackle, and the other player reacted, which got physical.
I made brief enquiries and I understand the other player left the game and was replaced by another of David T's friends. The game continued.
Srini said they shook hands at the end of the game, but he was still very upset.
I don't really need to know more at the present time, although I may look into it more later.
More importantly, as I've said before:
As far as I am concerned, if there are bad tackles during the game, and:
* the player making the bad tackle apologises, and the player on the receiving end accepts the apology, the game was played in good spirits.
* the player making the bad tackle does not apologise, or the player on the receiving end does not accept the apology, and the game degenerates into petulance, arguments, or further bad tackles, or ill-feeling which continues beyond the game, it is unacceptable.
Even better would be everyone make a greater effort to cut out bad tackles by exercising greater care.
