A JUNIOR footballer who allegedly headbutted an umpire in a game on Sunday faces a "severe penalty" and is lucky to not face charges.
It has emerged that the umpire is a policeman.

The Eastern Park Football Club under-16 player has been reported for two counts of striking during a game against Golden Grove at Dwight Reserve, Elizabeth Park.

It is understood the player was being sent from the ground after being reported for striking when he allegedly headbutted an umpire. Eastern Park Football Club president Bill Wells said he had no other comment than to say that a tribunal hearing for the player had been set for next Wednesday.

North East Metro Junior Football Association chairman Rick King believed the matter was reported to police.

But the league's umpires co-ordinator, Ray Austin, said the experienced umpire, who is also a police officer, had chosen to not take matters further than the football tribunal. Mr King said: "It will be quite a severe penalty (he receives) I would imagine.

"We have more than 4000 players, 254 junior teams, playing football each week ... we've only had on average one incident a month and they have not been particularly serious.

"We are very tough on any sort of behaviour like this."

Football leagues throughout the state have taken a strong stance against all on-field violence in recent years. Last year, a 14-year-old footballer from Encounter Bay Football Club was handed a five-year national ban from football followed by a five-year probationary period after hitting and spitting on an umpire.

The club supported the ban and was disappointed when the SANFL reduced the penalty to a three-year ban following an appeal from the player, which led to an umpire strike.

A Hahndorf under-17s player was handed a life ban from football after striking an umpire.

The South Australian Amateur Football League has so far this year had 14 players reported for on-field violence in its senior grades, resulting in suspensions totalling 17 matches.

With their circulation these days, if you want something hidden stick it in the paper.

When will The Advertiser stop this ongoing conspiracy against the round ball game. Publishing an article about an incident in a Junior AFL game. Once gain trying to starve the beautiful game of publicity. It is shameful!

Cannot believe that the EPL final day did not make the at least the back cover of the Advertiser today, instead it was some pointless Crows story. Absolute disgrace.

Footy fight sparks security upgarde

http://news-review-messenger.whereilive ... y-upgarde/


INGLE Farm Football Club will have security guards and dry zones at all home matches, starting tomorrow, in the wake of a post-game fight between two spectators.

Police were called to the Bulldogs’ Rowe Park base on Saturday, May 19, when a scuffle broke out minutes after the final siren of the division six game against Trinity Old Scholars.

Bulldogs president Scott Smart said eyewitnesses saw one of the spectators wield a knife and the other use a broken beer bottle as a weapon.

Smart said the incident, which occurred on the Bulldogs’ sponsors day, had prompted the club to hire two Weslo security guards for home games and create up to three dry zones at its oval.

“We have to be seen to be doing the right thing,” Smart said.

“We’ll bring in security for every home game for however long it takes until people get the picture.”

Under SA Amateur Football League regulations, clubs must have a matchday official at home games but do not need to provide security.

Holden Hill Detective Acting Sgt Stewart Reeves said police were unaware a knife had been brandished or that a bottle was used as a weapon.

As a result, he said, no charges had been laid nor were police investigating at this stage.

“There was no evidence of any knives and it appears the bottle was thrown away in disgust, not thrown at anyone,” he said.

Are security guards needed at all local footy matches? Post a comment in the box below.

I've played 200 plus games in FFSA leagues, 150 plus games of amateur soccer and 200 plus games of amateur footy over 25 years.

Nothing gets close to what i've seen playing amateur footy.....nothing

Of more concern is the story in this week's Leader Messenger (TTG area).

Six northern clubs have disbanded their u/18's sides in the past 2 seasons due to lack of numbers. Salisbury was forced to pull out of the competition two weeks ago after it had just 10 players to field a team.
