TACTICAL COUNTER
The tactics successfully devised by soccer clubs last season to overcome the qualification of players for the Gillette Chatham Cup will not work in 1971. To counter the rule which states that a player must have played twice for his club before a cup match, clubs with a new player or one transferred from another club who had difficulty in fulfilling this regulation, got around it by playing him twice on the same day, for its teams in different competitions.
Now, the annual meeting of the N.Z.F.A. has amended the rule, establishing that the two matches cannot be played on the same day and that the player must have been registered for his club at least 21 days before the playing of cup matches.
