Soccer MOVE TO PREVENT POACHING
Enforcement Of Bond By N.Z. Players (New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, July 18. The New Zealand Football Association will try to stop Australian poaching of its top players by refusing clearances to members of the team to tour Tahiti next month who do not honour a bond to remain in New Zealand for at least a year afterwards. The chairman of the association (Mr J. Kershaw) said in Auckland that this was one way of enforcing the bond of £250 which all members of the New Zealand team will be required to sign. Mr Kershaw said that If a player refused to sign the bond he would not go on the tour. The bond' was designed to stop poaching by Australian clubs, and not to prevent an immigrant from returning to his homeland.
