A hearing had been heard and it was determined that the actions of Emery "Sub 10" Ong in the supposed high 'flying clothesline' tackle on his Bucks Opposite Number in the VB NRC Plate Semi-finals could not have been seen as an act of foul play.

The Committee explained that it was difficult to imagine, in the momentum Emery "Sub 10" Ong going for the tackle coupled with the fact that the Bucks player ducked at the last minute, what else Emery "Sub 10" Ong could have done to avoid the high tackle.

Moreover, upon close examination of the video replays, it was found that the first point of contact on the Bucks winger was within legal limits, should the winger not ducked at the last moment and the force of the tackle was directed downwards.

Thus the citing was dismissed.
