Treadwell Gibbons Jr, the Dandy Town goalkeeper, was one of several players summoned before the Bermuda Football Association’s disciplinary committee this week, The Royal Gazette has learnt.

Gibbons landed himself in hot water for leaving his area in the FA Cup Final at the National Sports Centre on April 13 and advancing 70 yards to the other side of the field before throwing a punch at Jason Davis, the North Village defender.

It was an ugly incident that marred the rescheduled match, which Town won 1-0 courtesy of an early goal by Reiko Trott.

After making a pair of superb saves to protect Town’s lead, Gibbons lost his cool. The second-half incident flared after Davis fouled Zaire Burchall, the Town striker. After the foul had been committed, Burchall swung an arm at Davis, who then retaliated. Before the fracas could be sorted, Gibbons appeared inexplicably, now much nearer to the Village goal than his own.

Gibbons, Burchall and Davis were dismissed for violent conduct by referee Ronue Cann, in his first Cup Final.

Despite playing the rest of the match with nine men, Town managed to protect their slim lead and cap their 40th anniversary with a fourth FA Cup title and third trophy of the season. Jomar Wilkinson’s team also won the Premier Division championship and Dudley Eve Trophy last season.

A Western Stars Sports Club spokesman confirmed yesterday that Gibbons has gone before the BFA’s disciplinary committee, which has yet to make a ruling on the player’s case.

The spokesman also revealed that the club have launched their own investigation into a matter that has thrust Gibbons in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons once again in the wake of his highly publicised outburst at Cup Match last summer.

That incident, when he refused to leave the field after being given out, led to St George’s Cricket Club levying a suspended two-year ban from playing Cup Match and a fine of 50 per cent of his match fee.

While the severity of that punishment from the bizarrely self-policed midsummer classic remains open to question, the Bermuda Cricket Board’s exclusion of Gibbons from the World Twenty20 qualifying squad and assertion that he would be subjected to anger management counselling can only be considered now as laughable.

Gibbons, through the promptings of Cleveland County, his league club, offered a public apology a full ten days after the incident at Wellington Oval, telling reporters at an open-air press conference that “my actions on the second day of Cup Match were wrong”.
