Bosco serves legal notice on MSSA

MSSA has called an emergency meeting tomorrow to discuss the legal notice. MSSA president Alex Vaz said the association 8220;would do what had to be done.8221; Admitting there had been a delay in issuing the notice, MSSA officials explained the executive committee, which was to take the decision, could meet only on February 11. One official said the controversy would never have taken such proportions if theDon Bosco management had issued an apology when the coach was initially pulled up for questioning the referees and abusing them.8217;

While the war of words between MSSA and Don Bosco escalated, a consensus was brewing in the hockey community that the two parties should sit across the table and arrive at some compromise. An Olympian said the two parties should thrash out the issue, with senior players as intermediaries. The Bombay Hockey Association said it had nothing to do with the issue as the MSSA was not affiliated to it.
