Cocoball II

On the subject of Cocoball, Mr Smith writes:

´With respect, I have a proposal for the Federazione of Cocoball:

You should be permitted to defend your pole - or stick - by having a sort of goal - or pole - keeper who can stop the coconut-type object - or coconut - hitting the pole or stick BUT they cannot use their hands. Also, if they play at night the hairy bits of the coconut should be set alight.´

Mr Smith goes on to explain that he understands: ´By combining both suggestions you have the making of `Extreme Cocoball`.  I appreciate that the various National Associations affiliated to the F.O.C will have to be consulted under standing order 17a(iii) before any changes can be made.´

The Federazione wishes to thanks Mr Smith for his suggestions and interest in the sport. However, the F.O.C also wishes to express at this time, that the ideas detailed are not connected with any person or persons within the Federation and, until such a time as the suggestions are validated by The Committee, they will remain filed. Under F (for Fanatiscism).
