mistaken identity. Any such claim must be lodged in writing with the
Association secretary within 14 days of the match - by both the club
and the player alleging mistaken identity - giving particulars upon
which the Claim is founded. The player admitting the offence must
agree to the club submitting the claim. If the chairman of the
Disciplinary Committee and/or the Association secretary are

Commission of not less than three nor mere than five members must be
appointed to deal with the matter. If the members of the Commission
are satisfied that mistaken identity has been proved, the record of
