TEAM WALKS OFF FIELD
CHATHAM CUP INCIDENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, July 28. Led by their captain, A. Sutherland, the Thistle team walked off the field as a protest against the ordering-off of one of their players during the second spell of the local Chatham Cup Soccer final against Western on Saturday. It was only after officials had talked with the teams that the match was continued. The game was comparatively free of ill-feeling up to this stage, and the trouble really started when Western were awarded a goal in the second spell which caused protests from the Thistle players. The player ordered off was W. Sutherland, Thistle righthalf. Thistle were disappointing on an extremely slippery ground. Western ‘holding the upper hand for most of the game to win 3-1.
