A very rare occurrence but this email was received through Susan Tate. I think Gavin is Paul and obviously Scott did more than we thought he did to get his name remembered!!
Hi Susan,
My name is Kevin Martin and I umpired Newark Men's 2 nd X1 against Grantham 2nds yesterday.
Could I ask you to pass on my apologies to I think the player called Gavin who plays for the 2nds. There was some dispute during the match about myself not awarding a goal (albeit an own goal) to Newark. I actually green carded the player for the strength of his protest!
Having re read the rules I admit the goal should have stood, as the final score was 6-0 to Newark it is not so bad. That said I did say after the match I would apologise if I was wrong, so please pass on this message to Gavin (and the 2nds captain on the day (Scott).
I am trying to find out when they changed the rule to allow 'own goals' when there had not been an 'attempt' on goal even though an attacker touched the ball inside the d.
regards and thanks
Kevin Martin
