Bermuda Cricket Board are expected to announce how long Western Stars' Treadwell Gibbons jnr has been banned for later today.

Gibbons was one of a host of players who were summoned before the Board's disciplinary committee following the Island's 'weekend of shame' when violent clashes forced two games to be abandoned and another descend into chaos.

Disciplinary meetings were held on Monday and Tuesday of this week, when players such as Gibbons, Social Club's Detroy Smith and Devonshire Rec's Ricardo Brangman, were expected to be handed lengthy bans from the game.

The trio were all facing numerous charges, ranging from Level 4 offences for violence on the field of play, to Level 2 charges of using foul and obscene language, and in Gibbons' case those charges plus a Level 1 charge of abuse of ground equipment.

Gibbons in particular is looking at a hefty spell on the sidelines, having already been banned for two years in 2007 following a clash with BCB cricket development director Arnold Manders and his wife Robin.

Brangman and Smith have also played their last games of the season, if not for longer. Devonshire Rec are believed to have already banned Brangman for the rest of the season, in an attempt to pre-empt any BCB punishment.

And Smith's clash with an umpire, which was captured on film, and culminated in him pulling the stumps out of the ground and throwing the bails away, is likely to bring a longer ban.

The Board had been expected to make the announcement earlier this week, however difficulty in contacting all those people involved in the process led to a delay. "We are still in the process of officially notifying those involved and we expect to release a statement tomorrow (Friday) afternoon," said a BCB spokesman yesterday.
