Intentional Play Over the Backline with Sarah Wilson | Field Hockey Umpiring Skills | #UmpireAtHome #TBT

Was it or was it not intentionally played over the back-line? 

Here’s a clip from the last 10 seconds of the 2019 Pro League Final game when Sarah Wilson had to make a big decision whether or not to restart play with a penalty corner at this late juncture. 

By looking at body angles and where players are located on the field, Sarah and video umpire Marcin Grochal came to the same decision that it wasn’t intentional this time. Have a look for yourself–what do YOU think? 🤔
