Willow Cuts player Craig Brangman could be in hot water with Bermuda Cricket Board of Control after reportedly fighting with a spectator during Sunday's First Division match between PHC and Cuts at White Hill Field.

Although details of the incident are sketchy, one onlooker at the match told The Royal Gazette yesterday that Brangman approached a fan who had apparently heckled him after he was run out and was making his way back to the pavilion.

It's understood that the player then made a threatening gesture with his bat before a scuffle broke out which quickly escalated into an all-out brawl with other spectators becoming involved.

Play on the field was reported to have been halted for at least ten minutes as Willow Cuts players tried to calm Brangman and the angry mob that had gathered.

Bermuda Cricket Umpires Association secretary Randy Butler didn't have full details on the incident yesterday but said: "I've been told that Mr. Brangman was involved in an off-the-field incident after being dismissed, but no official information on the matter has been forwarded to us (BCUA) to date. Perhaps this will occur at tonight's (last night) meeting."

It is understood that umpire Stephen Douglas made a note of the melee in his match report.

The incident was reported to have been witnessed by national coach Mark Harper and former BCBC secretary Charlotte Simons who were among the spectators.

Officials from Somerset Bridge, who own White Hill Field, are remaining tight-lipped over the matter, although Bridge manager Kevin Roberts said disciplinary measures would be discussed during a meeting this week.

If found guilty by Bridge officials for causing a disturbance on the club's premises, Brangman could be handed a lengthy ban as could any of the spectators who became involved.

It's understood that Brangman, who transferred to Cuts this year, is currently serving a ban from Somerset Cricket Club following another disciplinary matter.

In May, St. David's player Phillip Pitcher and Sinclair Gibbons of St. George's were both involved in a skirmish on the pitch. Gibbons subsequently received a one-year ban while Pitcher was given a two-match suspension.

Pitcher also served out a two-match ban handed down by his club.

St. George's president Neil Paynter has complained that Gibbons' suspension was unfair and said that the club would be lodging an appeal.
