GOTTA TRY SOMETHING TO ENTERTAIN THE SPECTATORS:

Soccer playing mum on bite ban (Gemma Jones, 7/29/09, The Daily Telegraph )

A SOCCER-PLAYING mother has been banned from the sport for more than 12 months for biting another player.

Alice Paul, the No. 15 player for Queens Park, told a judiciary hearing she "snapped" when a player elbowed her in the face during a tackle.

A referee who stopped the match against Maroubra United women's over 35s on July 5 at Coral Sea Park said he could see "clear teeth and bite impressions in the skin" of the victim.
