The Cup Match row reared its ugly head again yesterday after a provisional umpire?s report highlighted just a single incident of misconduct from the two days of ill-tempered shenanigans.

Three weeks have now passed since the Summer Classic and still no official umpire reports have been submitted from the match, condemned as lacking in sportsmanship by many leading figures in the sport.

But a copy of one of the reports reached Bermuda Cricket Board president Reggie Pearman, and the Island?s top administrator was ?very disappointed? with what he saw.

St. George?s? epic victory was soured by an appalling scenes of gamesmanship from a number of those involved in the ill-tempered and acrimonious encounter, yet the report seen by Pearman mentioned just one incident from the two days of cricket at Wellington Oval.

?I am not sure yet if the clubs have received the official reports,? Pearman told yesterday.

?But I received an unofficial copy of one of the reports ? I would rather not say which one ? and I am concerned that is certainly not far-reaching enough.

?Just one incident was mentioned and that is not good enough. We are all aware of what took place and I would like to seen it covered comprehensively in the report.

?At the moment, it is in the clubs? hands but the final report needs to be thorough and if it is not then I would like to see it sent back to the umpire to be re-written ? that is absolutely something that can be done and it is something the clubs may want to do.?

Although Pearman would not reveal which incident was mentioned, those following the Cup Match fall out carefully will be concerned that some of the uglier scenes may never be fully investigated or dealt with given the non-appearance of the umpires? reports even at this late stage.

Incidents that are expected to appear in the eagerly-anticipated reports include:

The fight between Stephen Outerbridge and George O?Brien Jr. after the former spat on the bowler, who retaliated by striking the dismissed batsman;

Allegations of xenophobic sledging;

Players storming the field after two controversial decisions;

Constant taunting of dismissed batsmen.

Pearman then again confirmed the BCB is currently playing a waiting game and will not intervene until St. George?s and Somerset have received the reports and taken whatever steps are necessary.

He confirmed that the BCB are still not involved in the pursuit of any disciplinary matters but referred to last week?s statement from the Board which stated: ?The constitution of Bermuda Cricket Board deals with the situation quite clearly as it pertains to any matter that arise out of Cup Match insofar as it says that the respective clubs shall assume full responsibility.

?The Board are therefore waiting to receive full details of any actions taken by either of the clubs for all matters arising out Cup Match and will take such further action deemed appropriate at that time.?

St. George?s Cricket Club president Neil Paynter confirmed that as of noon yesterday he was unaware of any umpire reports arriving at the club and would not comment as to the BCB?s involvement until ?we have had a chance to review the reports and take whatever steps may or may not be necessary?.

Somerset Cricket Club chairman Anthony Bailey was unavailable yesterday.

Pearman was also quick to distance himself from quotes in a cricinfo.com article attributed to him.

Tony Munro, writing in his Beyond the Test World section of the leading cricket authority on the Internet, wrote a piece entitled Trouble In Paradise in which he stated: ?The euphoria and goodwill which enveloped Bermuda following it?s qualification for the 2007 World Cup have been eclipsed, following an ugly fracas at the Island?s biggest social and cricket event, the 102nd annual two-day Cup Match.?

The article goes on to descibe the spat between O?Brien Jr. and Outerbridge before stating: ?BCBC (sic) official Reggie Pearman told Beyond the Test World the matter would be not left for the respective clubs to handle. ?We will deal with it ? we are the governing body for cricket on this Island?.?

Pearman yesterday confirmed he spoke to Munro on Saturday morning but claimed ?that is not what I said?.

?I told him what we had told the Press in Bermuda ? that it is a matter for the clubs to deal with at this stage but we do have the power to step in if need be as the governing body,? added Pearman.

?I think he has paraphrased me more than anything.?
