Chiefs support May
Sun, 11 May 2008 14:14
The Chiefs team and management have come out in support of prop Ben May who was red carded in Saturday's 27-33 Super 14 loss against the Lions at Ellis Park in Johannesburg.
May received his marching orders after putting his boot into the face of Lions flank Joe van Niekerk in the 64th minute of the match.
The Chiefs have issued a statement regarding May's up coming hearing in front of a SANZAR judicial committee in Durban on Monday.
"Chiefs prop Ben May received a red card in the Chiefs vs Lions match which was disappointing. Ben has never been before a judicial committee; and has never had a yellow card in his rugby career to date."
"Ben is understandably upset and concerned by the red card in the weekend’s fixture and the subsequent judicial hearing."
"The Chiefs team and management are standing by Ben. The Chiefs have engaged the services of Wellington barrister Tim Castle to appear as
counsel for Ben at the up coming judicial hearing."
