HKHAWS 15-16 Circular No. 23 - Player safety

To: Convenor of Affiliated Club (Women’s)

Cc: HKHAWS Committee

Dear Convenor,

It has come to our attention that there has been a spate of injuries in the last few months, sometimes serious ones. Though umpires are in charge of the games it is imperative that all players play safely and ensure they are not endangering their fellow players. We are trying to improve the level of umpiring in Hong Kong but this won't happen overnight, and ultimately it is the responsibility of both the umpires and the players to ensure the game is played safely. Please could you remind players of this as we don't want people to get injured during games.

Kind regards,

Rhona Barr

Chairwoman
