 The Association found the boundary umpire not guilty; and, it found Raleigh and Hassett guilty of having made a false charge against the boundary umpire, and deregistered both players until 31 May 1927.The club was so incensed by the outcome that it decided to withdraw from the Association immediately.The club was ultimately readmitted to the VFA prior to the following season under a new committee, but Raleigh retired before his suspension was finished.
