Unruly cricketers in court
Seven members of the Chatto Creek Cricket Club were indicted in heavy fines and costs for being drunk and disorderly on licensed premises, and refusing to quit, at the Ophir Police Court on Friday. They were further charged with being on licensed premises after hours. On the first charge each defendant was fined £5 and on the second 10 shillings. The evidence showed that the men, after returning from the cricket match, entered the Chatto Creek Hotel and refused to leave. All the windows in the front of the building were broken. — ODT, 21.2.1921.
